Ozark Mountain Daredevils Heart of the Country Heatin' Up (GUITARS INTRO) Done heatin' already where the man Tellin' me the mercury's out of hand Heat wave shimmies off a blacktop street You better keep movin' or you'll burn your feet Somethin' 'bout the sun when it's beatin' down Makes a young man's head start spinnin' around The old man smiles 'cause he knows this town's Heatin' up Heatin' up The girls and guys on the drag downtown Radio up and the rag-top down Heatin' up Pool hall boys all drop their cues Runnin' outside cause they're feeling the dew Heatin' up The sweat starts smokin' with little hot drops
From the cut-off jeans and the halter tops It's startin' now and it ain't gonna stop Heatin' up Heatin' up (here we go) (HARP & NATIONAL STEEL SOLO) (ha, lower, ha ha ha ha) Sun is sinkin' but it's too late now The juke-joint crowd just can't cool down Heatin' up The dance floor's shaking from the heavy beat Steam cloud rising from the potter's wheel Heatin' up Some are gonna love and some are gonna fight As the hell fire burns through the summer night And it all starts over in the mornin' light Heatin' up Heatin' up Heatin' up Heatin' up (shhh! - yeah) (NATIONAL STEEL LICK)
