Heatin' Up

Ozark Mountain Daredevils
Heart of the Country heatin' Up
Done heatin' already where the man
Tellin' me the mercury's out of hand
Heat wave shimmies off a blacktop street
You better keep movin' or

You'll burn your feet
Somethin' 'bout the sun when
It's beatin' down makes a young man's head
Start spinnin' around
The old man smiles 'cause
He knows this town's heatin' up heatin' up

The girls and guys on the drag downtown
Radio up and the rag-top down heatin' up
Pool hall boys all drop their cues
Runnin' outside cause they're feeling the dew
Heatin' up the sweat starts smokin' with
Little hot drops
From the cut-off jeans and the halter tops

It's startin' now and it ain't gonna stop
Heatin' up heatin' up
(here we go, harp & national steel solo)
(ha, lower, ha ha ha ha)
Sun is sinkin' but it's too late now
The juke-joint crowd just can't cool down

Heatin' up
The dance floor's shaking from the heavy beat
Steam cloud rising from the potter's wheel
Heatin' 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 mornin' light
Heatin' up heatin' up heatin' up heatin' up
(shhh! - yeah, national steel lick)
