Love In The Hot Afternoon Lyrics - Gene Watson

Love In The Hot Afternoon
From somewhere outside, I hear
Street vendor cry "filet gumbo"
From my window I see him, goin
Down the street and he don't kno
That we fell right to slee
In the damp tangled sheets so soo
After love in the hot afternoo
Now the bourbon street lady
sleeps like a baby in the shadow
(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 roo
For love in the hot afternoo
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 tun
Of Love in the hot afternoon
