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)

From somewhere outside, I hear a street vendor cry 'filet gumbo'
From my window I see him, going down the street
and he don't know that we fell right to sleep
In the damp tangled sheets so soon
After love in the hot afternoon
