Love In The Hot Afternoon Composer(s): Kent Westberry - Vince Matthews Performer(s): Gene Watson; Jim Ed Brown; Mark Chesnutt
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
