Well the sweat's pourin' down off of my fo'head
Mississippi summer heat'll make you wish you was dead
Cool in a coffin' layin' 6 feet deep
On yo' back porch a'sippin' sweet tea, yeah

Seven a.m. it's a'89
And about mid-day it's a hundred and five
And at supper time you hope it feels nice
But you could cut the air witcha butter knife

Sick & damn tired of it bein' so hot around here
No matter where you go the heat'll find you anywhere
And if you think that I'm not tellin' ya' true
Just mosey on down to my hometown
And let the heat drop a spell on you

Solo

I'm not the kind to complain all day
But ol' Dave Brown said a'come a heat wave
Workin' all week when I get paid
I'm gonna go to the store and get some lemonade

Sick & damn tired of it bein' so hot around here
No matter where you go the heat'll find you anywhere
And if you think that I'm not tellin' ya' true
Just mosey on down to my hometown
And let the heat drop a spell on you
