Lyrics
97 In The Shade
It's 97 in the shade but you can't find a shade for miles
A man could suffocate and die with all this Southern charm around
My old hound dog's underneath the porch looks like he's settled in
He won't be coming out til the sun goes down
I been hauling hay in this God forsaken Alabama heat
Then drank up every nickel that I worked so hard to make
I'd trade my Granny's false teeth for an ice cold six pack now
Looks like I'm a dollar short and a day late
(Chorus)
It's 97 in the shade watch her burn, burn, burn
I'm an Alabama Redneck who will never learn, learn, learn
Spent my last dollar on the lottery now I pray, pray, pray
Lord show me some mercy it's 97 in the shade
That hot scorching summer sun has surely gone and fried my brain
I keep on making the same mistakes I don't seem to ever learn
That old Alabama sun can send your dreams right up in smoke
It's 97 in the shade just watch her burn
(Chorus)
It's 97 in the shade watch her burn, burn, burn
I'm an Alabama Redneck who will never learn, learn, learn
Spent my last dollar on the lottery now I pray, pray, pray
Lord show me some mercy it's 97 in the shade
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
(Chorus)
It's 97 in the shade watch her burn, burn, burn
I'm an Alabama Redneck who will never learn, learn, learn
Spent my last dollar on the lottery now I pray, pray, pray
Lord show me some mercy it's 97 in the shade
