Jeff Elliott, Robert George and Mike MorganWell, she’s practicin’ some nine ball, drinkin’ Johnnie Walker Black See her reach across the table, watch her work and shake that rack Hold on there a second, Junior…don’t you try some corny line She’ll fly you a finger eagle, if you ask her “what’s your sign” She wears faded blue jeans Like they’re Dixie Prada If you’re warm, to her fine form Well, then you gotta Be cool As the southern wind in the willow Be cool As the other side of the pillow It’s simple, plain advice Just be cool as champagne on ice
Told ya not to bother, Sonny…that approach’d never work Cos your hands’re hot n clammy, you got sweat stains on your shirt Here’s a napkin…wipe your forehead…Buddy, ease your fever down Cool your heels n pop a chill pill, cos you’re pantin’ like a hound Though the heat of the night’s Close enough to burn you There’s no doubt, she’ll freeze you out Unless you learn to Be cool As the southern wind in the willow Be cool As the other side of the pillow It’s simple, plain advice Just be cool as champagne on ice she’s got fire that my soul can feel And when I say “hello” I know that she’ll Be cool As the southern wind in the willow She’ll be cool As the other side of the pillow It’s only simple, plain advice Just be cool as champagne on ice

Thanks Steve. My co-writers organized and funded the Nashville demo as well as composed music that fit perfectly. I had nothing to do with that.
I did set up the first chorus and lead smoothly into the hook, then kept the hook in focus from there on out. I don't think I could do that now, with the word play etc.
It ain't easy being all washed up, haha.
