Furnace Fan Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

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
