In the Heat

Lyrics

Slowly drifting on a sea of tears Filled of heartache and pain Friend of the bottle for so many years Woman in chains They say she went down To the city of lights Gonna be a star Her mama still sits On that front porch every night Waitin' for a call But there's nothin' at all Candy lived the hard life Died a year ago Facedown on the pavement Covered in snow Came into this big town Small bag in her hand Left this world an empty soul And I don't understand It's the same old song and dance A gambler's only chance In the heat of the night In the big city game When you turn out the light Feel that nothin's the same In the heat of the night In the eye of the storm There's nowhere to run And you're so far from home In the heat of the night Johnny loved the hard stuff Always on the run One day he got too tough Face to face with a gun The boy is missed by no one And I don't understand Just another number Washed away in the sand It's the same old song and dance A gambler's only chance In the heat of the night In the big city game When you turn out the light Feel that nothin's the same In the heat of the night In the eye of the storm There's nowhere to run And you're so far from home In the heat of the night Same old song and dance A gambler's only chance, hey! In the heat of the night In the big city game When you turn out the light Feel that nothin's the same In the heat of the night In the eye of the storm There's nowhere to hide And you're so far from home In the heat of the night In the big city game When you turn out the light Feel that nothin's the same In the heat of the night In the eye of the storm There's nowhere to hide And you're so far from home
