|
I used to wake up early every day |
|
Just to feel the sunrise on my face |
|
Me and my woman in the front porch swing |
|
Listenin' to the mornin' mockingbird sing |
|
Well I woke one day to a screen door slam |
|
Found a good-bye note on our nightstand |
|
Next to a coffee cup and a wedding band |
|
Since then |
|
I've been a sunset man [Chorus:] |
|
When I see the sunrise comin' up |
|
I draw the curtains down ' |
|
Cause the mornin' brings her memory around |
|
I know it's warm and beautiful and lights up the sky |
|
But these days it only hurts my eyes |
|
I don't show my face to the afternoon |
|
Anything A. |
|
M. is just too soon ' |
|
Cause it reminds how she up and ran |
|
And damned me to be a sunset man [Chorus] |
|
It's hard not to cry but |
|
I'll do my best |
|
And just keep this ole chair facin' west |
|
Till she puts that ring back on her hand |
|
I guess I'll always be a sunset man |
|
Well I'll always be a sunset man |
|
Yeah I'll always be a sunset man |
