Gene Watson Song Lyric
Gene Watson is truly a 'Lone Star Hero' & has been singing professionally since the
late 1950s & has been a country music (album) recording artist since the late
1960s. Gene was one of the first artists to adhere to,
and remain faithful to, a 'hard' traditional country sound.

The music of Gene Watson is part of the very constitution of country music. It
is in Gene Watson's country music recordings that the tradition of heartfelt,
genuine country music is preserved for all time.
Gene
Watson steps into a recording studio, takes his place behind the microphone, and magic happens.
Gene Watson's contribution to the country music genre is immeasurable & it is
here that you will find the lyrics of 'Love in the hot
afternoon'.
'Love in the
hot afternoon'
Written by Kent Westberry & Vince Matthews (RIP)

Now the bourbon street lady
sleeps like a baby in the shadows
(in the shadows)
She was new to me, full of mystery,
But now I know (but know I know)
That she's just a girl,
And I'm just a guy, in a room
Full of love in the hot afternoon
We got high in the park
this morning and we sat, without talkin'
Then she came back here, in the heat of the day, tired of walkin'
Where under her breath, she hummed to herself a tune,
of Love in the hot afternoon
