Heatin' Up

(album: Heart Of The Country - 1987)

Done heating already where the man
Telling me the mercury's out of hand
Heat wave shimmies off a blacktop street
You better keep moving or you'll burn your feet

Something 'bout the sun when it's beating down
Makes a young man's head start spinning around
The old man smiles 'cause he knows this town's
Heating up
Heating up

The girls and guys on the drag downtown
Radio up and the rag-top down
Heating up
Pool hall boys all drop their cues
Running outside 'cause they're feeling the dew
Heating up

The sweat starts smoking with little hot drops
From the cut-off jeans and the halter tops
It's starting now and it ain't gonna stop
Heating up
Heating up
(Here we go)

(Ha, lower, ha ha ha ha)
Sun is sinking but it's too late now
The juke-joint crowd just can't cool down
Heating up
The dance floor's shaking from the heavy beat
Steam cloud rising from the potter's wheel
Heating up

Some are gonna love and some are gonna fight
As the hell fire burns through the summer night
And it all starts over in the morning light
Heating up
Heating up
Heating up
Heating up
(Shh... yeah)
