Lyric Sundowner

Deaf as a fence post
Alone on a winter s night
I m drunk as a racehorse
But I ll never fade outta sight

There s a wild below me
A wild up there in the stars
There s a history behind me
A child gone cold in my arms

Tell George and Tammy
I m ripe for the taking these days
It s a good year for roses
(And) a bad year for runnin in place

But if they don t believe me
I ll do what I always have done
I won t be the sundowner
No I ll never cheat on the sun

Cause when the sun comes up
And the moon is gone
To the bridge I go
To the bridge I run

And when I reach the edge
Onto the bridge I crawl
And when I find you my friend
From the bridge I fall

This is the last place
That I ve ever been, ever been
It s the last best place
That I ve ever been, ever been

And in spite of my weakness
And all my desires to win
I won t be the sundowner
Tomorrow I ll leave here again

Cause when the sun comes up
And I need a friend
To the bridge I run
When I need a friend

And when I meet the edge
Onto the bridge I crawl
And when I find you my friend
It s from the bridge I fall
