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
|
