Hot Texas Night

(album: Texas In My Rear View Mirror - 1980)

On a hot Texas night
We waited for the rains
We trembled as the thunder rolled
Across the West Texas plains

We watched the lightning flashing
In sweet stormy skies
Reflecting all the fire and passion
In our restless young eyes

And I was just a lost little child
In the body of a man
My blood was running hot and wild
When her fingers touched my hand

And in the hot Texas night
She reached and took my trembling fingertips
And led them gently to her parted lips
And she moved her hips
And the world stood still

And the hot Texas night
Stood guard and shrouded us in secrecy
And as we came together hungrily
Suddenly, I knew the thrill
Of the hot Texas night

On a hot Texas night
I faced the storm alone
And looked back over all the years
And the love that I've known

Suddenly I see her face
Silhouetted in the trees
She'll always have a special place
Among my sweetest memories

In the hot Texas night
She reached and took my trembling fingertips
And led them gently to her parted lips
She moved her hips
And the world stood still

And the hot Texas night
Stood guard and shrouded us in secrecy
And as we came together hungrily
Suddenly, I knew the thrill

And the hot Texas night
Stood guard and shrouded us in secrecy
And as we came together hungrily
Suddenly, I knew the thrill
Of the hot Texas night
The hot Texas night
Hot Texas night
