Heat in the Street lyrics

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 no 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's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's 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 those 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's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

"Look out, here I come!"

I'm gonna get you, boy!

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's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.

Heat in the street,

heat in the street,

everybody bein' careful 

'cause there's heat in the street.
