Furnace Fan

We were at the Rhythm Room In Scottsdale Arizona It was in the summertime it must have been '02 We got there way too early and we sat around for hours Loaded in when the man came down And the smushball game was through You can fry an egg out there on the city sidewalk You can fry your bacon and and and and I understand why lizards live in sunny Arizona Why people do and call it home I'll never understand It's hotter than a furnace fan out in Arizona 110 ain't nothing when you live out there you see Stars come out you scream and shout "Hey it's good to know you" If you're going there and you don't mind say hello for me Uncle Joe he lives out there in Phoenix Arizona He wears a cap that spells it out "I'm Uncle Joe" His kid is in the restaurant biz So he bought us fourteen boxes Of chicken strips and ranch style dip And wings from buffalo It's hotter than a furnace fan out in Arizona 110 ain't nothing when you live out there you see Stars come out you scream and shout "Hey it's good to know you" If your going there and you don't mind say hello for me The room was small but the crowd turned out in Scottsdale Arizona They listened to the stuff we played And sometimes sang along We finished up but they wanted more So we kept right on playing We played and stayed in the desert shade 'Til we played up every song It's hotter than a furnace fan out in Arizona 110 ain't nothing when you live out there you see Stars come out you scream and shout "Hey it's good to know you" If you're going there and you don't mind say hello for me If you're going there and you don't mind say hello for me --- Furnace Fan - Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
