HEATHER

 

Well I don’t go makin’ a habit

Of writin’ a swingin’ song

‘Bout a woman I know that’s already strollin’ with a good man on her arm

But I had to make an exception, Lord, I did it for my health

‘Cause it ain’t too often that a dream comes walkin’

And a song just writes itself

 

Too cool tatts and a back that’s stacked, red lips to make your knees sh-shake

That girl’s just right for a town this type, you know she hits me like an 8-point quake

Hh-Hh-Heather if you was any kind of weather, it would have to be a summer storm

Girl, you walk by ain’t nothin’ left dry, and eveybody’s just a bit more warm

Watch ‘em swarm

 

She got two room fulls of records, Honky Tonk to R and B

She likes all kinds, don’t draw no lines, just as long as you can move your feet

Hold on buster, ‘cause she dances like a duster, setting down on a desert plain

She starts rockin’’, buddy soon your soppin’, steady prayin’ for a good hard rain

Hh-Hh-Heather, yeah I know that you’re together with a fella that’s a hell of a man

And I’m prayin’ while I’m playin when I finish what I’m sayin’ he’ll still call me his friend

I hope he understands

 

She comes from California, on the East side of the Bay

But the way she walks, with her smooth, smooth talk

You’d think she’s raised up in a Southern State

 

Hh-Hh-Heather if you was any kind of weather, it would have to be a summer storm

Girl, you walk by ain’t nothin’ left dry, and eveybody’s just a bit more warm

Hh-Hh-Heather, yeah I know that you’re together with a fella that’s a hell of a man

And I’m prayin’ while I’m playin when I finish what I’m sayin’ he’ll still call me his friend

I hope he understands
