Laura Overstreet: Have a listen

Hot Texas Sun

(Laura Overstreet)
Music and Lyrics by Laura Overstreet
This is about thinking about my sweetie while walking on the Trinity River trail in Fort Worth
Walking by the river
Watching other people go their way
Get my act together
There's no need to try and call today
Ladies in their lawnchairs
Men are gathered talking round the car
Food is nearly ready
There's no need to wonder where you are

Ch: Traffic and trains and the slow low rider
Smell of the river in the hot Texas sun
Just give me five more minutes with you, baby
Your hacienda, hot Texas hon

Driving down I10
Things are getting harder for us now
It's all the places you've been
I want to fit in but I don't know how
Looking in the back seat
Is there really room in front for me?
I know what you wanted
You wanted one and I got three

Ch

Stop off at the market
I find everything I need but you
I know that you're working
I'll wait over here if you want me to
Over on the sideline
You're trading good with a senorita
Twenty yards away from me
Place for one at old Tecalote

Bridge: I want to dance with you
I want to smell the comida
I want to ride with you
I want it all to be easy

Ch
