Sun Goes Down

[intro]
..When the Sun Goes Down..mmm
..Yeah, it goes down for good..

*(Verse 1)*  
I clock out at five, dust on my jeans,  
Old pickup rattlin' down a lonesome road. *(ooh, yeah)*  
Day's work behind me, sky turnin' red,  
Radio hummin' some Haggard tune low.  
The weight of the week starts slippin' away,  
Out here where the cotton fields sway. *(mmm-hmm)*  
I roll down the window, let the evenin' in,  
Feels like livin' again when the sun goes down.

*(Chorus)*  
When the sun goes down *(when the sun goes down)*,  
And the stars come out to play,  
I'm sittin' on the tailgate, watchin' night chase the day. *(oh, Lord)*  
Crickets singin' soft, fireflies dancin' 'round,  
Heart feels lighter on this holy ground.  
Yeah, peace comes findin' me in this little ol' town,  
When the sun goes down. *(when the sun goes down)*

*(Verse 2)*  
She left back in spring, took half of my heart,  
But time's been gentle, mendin' the ache. *(yes, it has)*  
Now I thank the Lord for these quiet nights,  
Porch light glowin', no need to escape.  
Just me and the breeze and memories sweet,  
Dancin' slow to a whippoorwill beat. *(ahh, darlin')*

*(Chorus)*  
When the sun goes down *(when the sun goes down)*,  
And the stars come out to play,  
I'm sittin' on the tailgate, watchin' night chase the day. *(oh, mercy)*  
Crickets singin' soft, fireflies dancin' 'round,  
Heart feels lighter on this holy ground.  
Yeah, peace comes findin' me in this little ol' town,  
When the sun goes down.

*(Outro)*  
Mmm... when the sun goes down. *(fade with soft hum)*
