Gary Fjellgaard Song Lyrics > The Best of Gary Fjellgaard

Another quarter mile of split rail fence
Fix the old log bridge across the creek
And it's dried up to a trickle
From the unrelenting heat
Are the heat waves playing tricks on me
There's a vision in the sun

Summer heat
Walking right towards me
With her cotton dress sticking to her skin
She presses up against me
Lord I never thought that salt could taste so sweet
I melt away into the summer heat

The old dry hills sure could use some rain
But there ain't a cloud in the sky
Till the weather changes in the fall
Somehow we'll get by
She said a workin man needs water
Let's find a little shade

Summer heat
Walkin right towards me
With her cotton dress sticking to her skin
She presses up against me
Lord I never thought that salt could taste so sweet
I melt away into the summer heat
