Gene Watson Love in the Hot Afternoon Lyrics

INTRO RIFF:
A---2h4---4-2---|
A---2h4---4-2---|
VERSE:
From somewhere outside
I hear the street vendor cry,
A---2h4---4-2---|
"Filet gumbo"
A---2h4---4-2---|
From my window I see him
Going down the street
A---2h4---4-2---|
And he don't know
A---2h4---4-2---|
PRE-CHORUS:
That she fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon
CHORUS:
Now the Bourbon street lady
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery
But now I know
(But I know)
PRE-CHORUS:
That she's just a girl
And I'm just a guy, in a room
Full of love in the hot afternoon
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE:
We got high in the park
This morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then we came back here
In the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
PRE-CHORUS:
Where under her breath
She hummed to herself a tune
Of love in the hot afternoon
CHORUS:
Now the Bourbon street lady
Sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(In the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery
But now I know
(But I know)
PRE-CHORUS:
That she's just a girl
And I'm just a guy, in a room
Full of love in the hot afternoon
