Got caught in a heat wave Not a cloud up in the sky Nobody could remember When it ever was so hot and dry Blacktop roads were boiling Making tar stick to your feet I'd wait for the sun to go down Then pick you up We'd try to outrun the heat We'd drive down by the river Til we found a summer breeze Soft as a whisper in some old magnolia trees It was still too hot to handle A burning desire We fooled around and we fell in love And set that Georgia moon on fire Summer dreams are hard to find And even harder to hold Seems like they just fade away When a cold wind starts to blow People said we were too young To know what love's about I guess that ol? sun was to blame We lit a flame that we couldn't put out We?d drive down by the river ?Til we found a summer breeze Soft as a whisper in some old magnolia trees It was still too hot to handle A burning desire We fooled around and we fell in love And set that Georgia moon on fire It was just too hot to handle A burning desire We fooled around and we fell in love And set that Georgia moon on fire
