Heat in the Street - Axe

Late one night I was lyin' in bed

When I heard the front door slam

Felt the steel of a 38

I said «freeze, boy, I’m the man»

I said «please don’t pull it, I don’t want to bullet

Sir what you got on me»

«Got powder in your hooter, no title for your scooter

And I think you better come with me

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

Heat in the street

Heat in the street

Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Nights get cold in the county jail

And the floor gets kinda hard

«To keep the tourists from gettin' in

I’m gonna keep the 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

Heat in the street

Heat in the street

Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

«Look out, here I come»

Two months later when I got out

Felt like just 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

Heat in the street

Heat in the street

Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Heat in the street

Heat in the street

Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Heat in the street

Heat in the street

Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
