[Intro] [overdriven electric guitar riff, syncopated rhythm] (Hey!) [drums and bass enter] (Yeah!) [Verse 1] [acoustic guitar strumming, electric guitar accents] Sun coming up like a warm sunrise Feeling it from yesterday's nine to five Blacktop shimmer, dashboard glow Cooler in the back and nowhere to go And she stepped down in a cotton dress Hair tied up in a beautiful mess There's only one way to beat this heat She winked and dropped that sundress near the sea Boat ramp packed, radio loud Every small town fool showed up somehow And a cloud anywhere in sight Just blue water and tan lines [Chorus] [full band, driving energy] There's heat on the water, fire in the sky Thin little bikinis and a Lone Star high She's sun-kissed shoulders while smoking a bowl Lord it's getting hotter, but I'm willing to pay this toll Let that red dirt roll through the speakers all day Let the waves throw the worries away When that Texas summer starts burning us alive We hit the lake and let the whole world slide [Post-Chorus] [electric guitar lead melody] (Hey!) (Oh!) [Verse 2] [bass and drums continue, electric guitar stabs] Pumped up like an inner-tube, rope swing hanging from an old live oak Somebody holler, somebody jump Somebody's dancing when the baseline thumps She's laughing with her sunglasses on Cold drinks sweating while the daylight's gone A sundress waiting on the dock somewhere But she ain't in any hurry to get back there Chrome on the boat catches sunset gold Young hearts are running like they never get old That evening breeze finally rolls on through But I'm still burning up next to you [Chorus] [full band] There's heat on the water, fire in the sky Thin little bikinis and a Lone Star high Sun-kissed shoulders, bare feet on a boat Lord it's getting hotter, but we let it roll Let that red dirt roll through the speakers all day Let the waves throw the worries away When that Texas summer starts burning us alive We hit the Benbrook Lake and let the world slide (Yeah!) [Bridge] [electric guitar solo, bluesy bends and vibrato] [Verse 3] [dynamic drop, acoustic guitar and light percussion] By midnight the shoreline's glowing Moonlight dancing with currents flowing She slips that sundress back over her skin And says tomorrow, let's do it again [Chorus] [full band build-up] There's heat on the water, stars in her eyes Wet string bikini underneath the sunrise Her hand in mine as we drift back slow With the last joint and the radio low Let that red dirt roll 'til the speakers blow Let the whole damn county know When that Texas summer starts burning us alive We hit the Benbrook Lake and come alive [Outro] (Yeah!) (Yeah, the days burn hot) (And the nights run wild) (Yeah!) [electric guitar riffing] (Heat on the water) (Texas star) [final guitar chord rings out]
