paroles de chanson Hot Afternoon (Arizona Desert) - Bobby Bare

Arizona Desert, three in the afternoon
No place for me to be, twenty-eighth 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 L.A., and 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
A blonde's sleeping in the back

(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)

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 bad 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 now and shut my mouth
Come on now and shut my mouth

Right down this hot rock silence, after a while
That's when I first noticed that redhead's wicked smile
Why don't you pull off the road, son? We'll find us a 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, Lord, the blonde was waking up
Hey, the blonde was waking up

(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon) oh
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon) oh my God
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)
(Arizona desert, three in the afternoon)
