Heat In The Street

Heat In The Street

Late one night I was layin' in bed
When I heard the fron door slam
Felt the steel of a '38
Said "Freeze, boy, I'm the man"
I said please don't pull it, I don't want no bullet
Sir what you got on me?
"Got powder in your hooter, no title for your scooter
And I think you better come with be"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
Night get cold in the county jail
And the floor gets kinda hard
"To keep the tourists from gettin' in
I'm gonna keep those windows barred"
It won't be deep, but I know I'll sleep
In the arms of security
"It ain't no trouble 'cause they pay me double
For workin' on Saturday"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
Two months later when I got out
Felt just like a dream
I hit the road doin' 56
When I heard the siren scream
I knew if I could gun it I could sure outrun it
But I saw him lookin' my way
"I said, don't even try it or, boy, you're gonna buy it
Ha ha, this ain't your day"
Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there
Heat in the street
