| [00:01.00] |
It got so hot, last night, I swear |
| [00:22.83] |
You couldn't hardly breathe |
| [00:25.88] |
Heat lightning burnt the sky like alcohol |
| [00:30.65] |
I sat on the porch without my shoes |
| [00:35.80] |
And I watched the cars roll by |
| [00:38.72] |
As the headlights raced |
| [00:40.88] |
To the corner of the kitchen wall |
| [00:43.64] |
Mama dear, your boy is here |
| [00:48.78] |
Far across the sea |
| [00:51.74] |
Waiting for that sacred core |
| [00:55.34] |
That burns inside of me |
| [00:58.00] |
And I feel a storm all wet and warm |
| [01:01.80] |
Not ten miles away |
| [01:04.85] |
Approaching my Mexican home |
| [01:09.37] |
My God! I cried, it's so hot inside |
| [01:40.85] |
You could die in the living room |
| [01:43.65] |
Take the fan from the window |
| [01:46.18] |
Prop the door back with a broom |
| [01:49.02] |
The cuckoo clock has died of shock |
| [01:53.79] |
And the windows feel no pane |
| [01:56.50] |
The air's as still |
| [01:58.73] |
As the throttle on a funeral train |
| [02:02.28] |
Mama dear, your boy is here |
| [02:06.81] |
Far across the sea |
| [02:09.82] |
Waiting for that sacred core |
| [02:13.32] |
That burns inside of me |
| [02:16.01] |
And I feel a storm all wet and warm |
| [02:19.70] |
Not ten miles away |
| [02:22.56] |
Approaching my Mexican home |
| [02:29.16] |
My father died on the porch outside |
| [02:58.77] |
On an August afternoon |
| [03:01.68] |
I sipped bourbon and cried |
| [03:03.79] |
With a friend by the light of the moon |
| [03:07.70] |
So it's, "Hurry! Hurry! Step right up" |
| [03:11.55] |
It's a matter of life or death |
| [03:14.56] |
The sun is going down |
| [03:16.25] |
And the moon is just holding its breath |
| [03:20.00] |
Mama dear, your boy is here |
| [03:24.54] |
Far across the sea |
| [03:27.34] |
Waiting for that sacred core |
| [03:30.88] |
That burns inside of me |
| [03:34.32] |
And I feel a storm all wet and warm |
| [03:37.32] |
Not ten miles away |
| [03:40.60] |
Approaching my Mexican home |
| [03:46.19] |
|
