Lyrics
Hey man, where'd you get your tan?
Oh, I'd like to have that sun in me
See I like the sun, but I start to run
Oh, the moment that the sun runs from me
I am a sundowner
So live and leave
I am a sundowner
Don't let the sun go down on me
Hey, ma, where'd you find pa?
Oh, I'd like to have some company
See, I like a crowd but I don't know how
To keep one surrounding me
I am a sundowner
So live and leave
I am a sundowner
Don't let the sun run from me
Oh, I went to the market
But the market was closed
Sign on the window said
The hours devour us
So, I went to the river
And it said, "Come here
Let me whisper in your ear"
And it pulled me under
So, I went to the Lord
But the Lord said, "No
You're not welcome here anymore"
So, I went to the sky
But the sky was closed
Said, "I don't know where I'm gonna go
I am a wandering soul
Through the back of what I know"
I am a sundowner
Please
Don't let the sun go down on me
Hey man, where'd you get your tan?
Oh, I'd like to have that sun in me
See I like the sun, but I start to run
Oh, the moment that the sun runs from me
I am a sundowner
Please
Don't let the sun go down on me
