Livin' In Heat

My mama was born on a sway-backed mule
Way down on a farm in Georgia
Where people said, "girl you got to work all day,
'Cause we can't afford to room and board you"

My mama grew up with a load on her back
A lovin' in her heart for someone
She sang about the dream that she held in her heart
'Cause for so long she didn't have one

When mama went away she took everything
She took everything that we cared for
And when we asked her "why"? she had no answer
She didn't say why or wherefore

All she knew was she had love
Lovin' in her heart for someone
And now she's going away to find that man
Got to go find her loved one

Well, my baby
Now where've you been so long
Life ain't livin' without you
I'm tired of just dreamin' about you

Heat - wow
Heat – wow – just livin' in heat - wow

Well, my baby
Where've you been so long
Life ain't livin' without you
I'm tired of just dreamin' about you

Heat - wow
Heat – wow – just livin' in heat - wow
