"Hot Afternoon (Arizona Desert)" lyrics - BOBBY BARE

Arizona desert 3:00 in the afternoon
No place for me to be 28th day of June
I see lizards crawling
Some things that are not there
Sun is shining so damn hot
Lord, I can't breathe this air

I'm on my way from LA
Back to Tennessee
I'm stranded in the desert
Feels like the devil's got me
Convertible is slowing down
Looks like a Cadillac
A redhead is driving
A blonde is sleeping in the back
The blonde's sleeping in the back

She throws me the keys
I put my guitar in the trunk
"Would you like to drive?" she said
I'm about half drunk
She handed me a can of beer
So cold it hurt my hand
Oasis in the desert
Lord, I've found the promised land

So I struck out down the highway
With my big foot on the gas
My prayers have all been answered
Now my back luck's in the past
Looking at that redhead
I can see she ain't no slouch
And that blonde in the backseat
Come on down and shut my mouth
Come on now and shut my mouth

Down this hot road silence after awhile
That's when I first noticed
That redhead's wicked smile
Why don't you pull off the road son
We'll find us some shade
Maybe when that scorching sun goes down
Better time can be made
Well that's how I spend the afternoon
28th day of June
You can bet that's not one I'll be forgetting soon
By the time the sun went down
Me and the redhead wrote a book
When I looked around the blonde was waking up
Hey, the blonde was waking up
