Got caught in a heat wave

Not a cloud up in the sky

Nobody could remember

When it ever was so hot and dry

Blacktop roads were boiling

Making tar stick to your feet

I’d wait for the sun to go down

Then pick you up

We’d try to outrun the heat



We’d drive down by the river

‘Til we found a summer breeze

Soft as a whisper in some old magnolia trees

It was still too hot to handle

A burning desire

We fooled around and we fell in love

And set that Georgia moon on fire



Summer dreams are hard to find

And even harder to hold

Seems like they just fade away

When a cold wind starts to blow

People said we were too young

To know what love’s about

I guess that ol’ sun was to blame

We lit a flame that we couldn’t put out



We’d drive down by the river

‘Til we found a summer breeze

Soft as a whisper in some old magnolia trees

It was still too hot to handle

A burning desire

We fooled around and we fell in love

And set that Georgia moon on fire



It was just too hot to handle

A burning desire

We fooled around and we fell in love

And set that Georgia moon on fire
