Lucinda Williams(born January 26, 1953) is an American rock, folk, and alt-country singer-songwriter. A three-time Grammy Award winner, she was named "America's best songwriter" by TIME magazine in 2002. Williams has garnered considerable critical acclaim, but her commercial success has been moderate. She also has a reputation as a perfectionist and slow worker when it comes to recording; six years passed between the release of her second and third albums. However, she frequently makes guest appearances on other artists' albums and contributes to compilations and soundtracks.

Hot Blood Lyrics
Lucinda Williams
how long have you been hangin' around
your eyes fixed to the cement ground
your heart is warm, your hands are cold
you know the truth, but the story gets old
you stood on the corner for a long time
people passin' by gave you nickels and dimes
they think you're one of the nameless
'cause you got no record and you ain't famous
oh, Bill, I know how you're feelin'
your heart's on fire and your head is reelin'
but with the spirit to guide you and a friend beside you
you know you'll win if you're only willin'
the sun's so hot and my heart is thumpin'
let me buy you a beer or somethin'
you've been travelin' a hard road
sit down, Bill, and lighten your load
if you need a friend give me a call
I've got your picture on my wall
from one compadre to another
I love you, Bill, as I would my brother
oh, Bill, I know how you're feelin'
your heart's on fire and your head is reelin'
but with the spirit to guide you and a friend beside you
you know you'll win if you're only willin'
