Deep Summer in the Deep South

Andalusia, Alabama In the August heat Hot enough to fry an egg on the cobblestones It's too hot to put your clothes on It's too hot to eat Mama says you're just all skin and lazy bones All day long a Coca-Cola Is all you can think of Late at night your body gets so Thirsty for his love It's just deep summer In the deep south All that constant perspiration Always makes a body pout Drippin' sweet nothings From your honeysuckle mouth Now you're drowning in deep summer In the deep south You go knockin' on his window When the moon is full Then you slip down to the river for a skinny dip Ain't no tellin' what can happen When push comes to pull And your heart starts melting in the summer's grip Ain't no way you can describe it How he makes you feel It's like the river took you in its arms And swept you to Mobile It's just deep Summer In the deep south All that constant perspiration Always makes a body pout Drippin' sweet nothings From your honeysuckle mouth And you're drowning in deep summer In the deep south Don't know how you're gonna stand it How much your heart aches All that you can do is hold on 'Til that scarlet fever breaks It's just deep summer In the deep south
