11. Heat of the Night

Verse 1: (R&B/Soul and Blues mixed with Country; (Acoustic and slide guitars, fiddles, light drums)
Oh no, here we go again
You're wearin' that red dress I like
And you know I lose my mind
You tell me how much that you miss me
I can't tell you I feel the same
I can see right through your game
But I don't care if I lose


Chorus (Add louder electric and slide guitars and drums)
In the heat of the night
We don't care that this ain't right
When the sun comes up
We'll say, "God, what have we done?"
But this is somethin' we can't fight
In the heat of
In the what of the night


Verse 2:
We both know the way this goes
You tell me you need me, I say "you're my one and only"
But when the moon goes down, oh
I know you'll be gone and I'll say, "This was wrong..
...but I just can't help myself"


Chorus:


(Blues Rock Electric/Slide Guitar solo)


Chorus:


Outro:
In the heat of
In the heat of...the night…
