I been desert hot down in Phoenix I been smoggy hot out in L. A I been high 憂 dry hot in Colorado I been charred out on the Midwest Plains I been madhatter flattened by the heat in Manhattan I been muggy on the Mighty Miss I been burned like a stick on Route 66 But I ain抰 never been this Chorus: Hot抣anta, how come you do me this way When you抮e 99 in the noonday sun And a hundred and one in the shade Hot抣anta, I think I prefer your nights With your cosmopolitan caf? Women How they do go on and on Down in Hot抣anta In a fuselage in a crowded sky I was trying very hard not to think But in a paranoid vision of the worst that could happen I asked my stewardess "Just one more drink" The cabin temperature had me in a blur I was shaking by the time we touched down We hit that tarmac Hell bent for Mary Mac抯 Back in your sizzlin? Town Chorus
