Hot or What Songtext
von Mark Knopfler

She came on the river
With a gift for me
I′m in way deep
That's how it has to be
It′s hot in the desert
But I'm cool in the zone
People call me lucky but I'll say to you
You make your own

I′m on a roll, yeah
I′m on a roll
I'm running hot
Baby, am I hot or what?

This is outrageous
I got all kinds of stuff
Can I dodge bullets? Can I bluff?
Hot shots keep on a-coming
Looking for a fight
But their names are going down
To the left and to the right


I′m on a roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm on a roll
I′m running hot
Baby, am I, am I hot or what?
Ah, take one, kid

Yeah

It gets dark in the night
That's how it goes
It gets cold in winter
Don′t be surprised if it snows
You wanna play hold 'em
With my friend Mr. Chan?
If you lose your stack, well
You sure can't blame the man

I′m running hot
Baby, am I hot or what?
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, man
Yeah


They play with me a while
I′ll read 'em like a book
Let′s go have a drink or two
Talk about the scalps I took
I got a big old stack
I had me a big old day
Tomorrow I'll go back
Gonna take it all the way

′Cause I'm on a roll
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I′m on a roll
I'm running hot
Baby, am I hot or what?
I said I'm running hot, baby
Talk about hot
Baby, am I hot or what?
