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
