Sundowner lyrics
by The Walkabouts
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
