Heat In The Street

Late one night I was lyin' in bed
When I heard the front door slam
Felt the steel of a 38
I said: Freeze, boy, I'm the man
I said: Please don't pull it, I don't want to bullet
Sir what you got on me
Got powder in your hooter, no title for your scooter
And I think you better come with me

Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Nights get cold in the county jail
And the floor gets kinda hard
To keep the tourists from gettin' in
I'm gonna keep the windows barred
It won't be deep, but I know I'll sleep
In the arms of security
It ain't no trouble 'cause they pay me double
For workin' on Saturday

Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Look out, here I come

Two months later when I got out
Felt like just a dream
I hit the road doin' 56
When I heard the siren scream
I knew if I could gun it I could sure outrun it
But I saw him lookin' my way
I said: Don't even try it or, boy, you're gonna buy it
Ha ha, this ain't your day

Better be careful now
He knows your name
Got your number now
Don't want your

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street

Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
Heat in the street
Heat in the street
Everybody bein' careful 'cause there heat in the street
