Gene Watson Love In The Hot Afternoon Lyrics

Love In The Hot Afternoon Lyrics

From somewhere outside, I hear a
Street vendor cry "filet
gumbo"
From my window I see him, going
Down the street and he don't
know
That we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so
soon
After love in the hot afternoon

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 know I know)
That she's
just a girl,
And I'm just a guy, in a room
For love in the hot
afternoon

We got high in the park,
This morning and we sat, without
talkin'
Then she came back here,
In the heat of the day, tired of
walkin'
Where under her breath,
She hummed to herself a tune
Of Love
in the hot afternoon
