Another Hot Day in the South
(Tom Fisch/Brittany Allyn)


There’s haze hangin’ in the morning light

So thick you can cut it with a knife

Clings to your skin soon’s you step outside

But you can’t stay locked up in the house

Oh no it’s just another hot day in the south

Stray dog pantin’ with his tongue hangin’ low

Lookin’ for water everywhere he goes

Sleeps in the shade dreamin’ of snow

But that don’t mean he’s down in the mouth

He knows it’s just another hot day in the south

BR Baby put your hair up and I’ll make some iced tea

Let’s sit out on the front porch and try to catch a breeze

Sip it slow and hold that cold wet glass to your brow

And feel the sweet relief tricklin’ down

Storm clouds boomin’ in the sky overhead

It’ll rain just enough to get everything wet

Humidity’s sittin’ at a hundred percent

It’s something you can’t get around

So slow down it’s just another hot day in the south

After dinner by the light of the moon

You and me, peach ice cream and a couple of spoons

Katydids’ll sing us a summertime tune

While the fireflies dance all around

And we’ll say goodnight to another hot day in the south 

Goodnight it’s just another hot day in the south
