[Verse 1]
It Ggot so hot, last night, I swear
C You couldn't hardly breathe
Heat lGightning burnt the Dsky like alcoGhol
I sat Gon the porch without my shoes
And I Cwatched the cars roll by
As the Gheadlights raced
To the Dcorner of the kitchen Gwall
[Chorus]
D Mama dear
Your boy is here
G Far across the sea
A7Waiting for
That sacred core
That D7burns inside of me
And I Gfeel a storm
All wet and warm
NotC ten miles away
AppGroaching
My DMexican Ghome

[Verse 2]
My GGod! I cried, it's so hot inside
You couldC die in the living room
Take the Gfan from the window
Prop the Ddoor back with a Gbroom
The Gcuckoo clock has died of shock
And the Cwindows feel no pain
The Gair's as still
As the Dthrottle on a funeral Gtrain
[Chorus]
D Mama dear
Your boy is here
G Far across the sea
A7Waiting for
That sacred core
That D7burns inside of me
And I Gfeel a storm
All wet and warm
NotC ten miles away
AppGroaching
My DMexican Ghome

[Verse 3]
My Gfather died on the porch outside
On an CAugust afternoon
I sipped Gbourbon and cried
With a Dfriend by the light of the Gmoon
So its Ghurry! hurry! Step right up
It's a Cmatter of life or death
The Gsun is going down
And the Dmoon is just holding its Gbreath
[Chorus]
D Mama dear
Your boy is here
G Far across the sea
A7Waiting for
That sacred core
That D7burns inside of me
And I Gfeel a storm
All wet and warm
NotC ten miles away
