Verse 1
Sun’s bleedin’ red on a gravel road
Screen door slam and your engine’s cold
You say you’re tired, say you’re stayin’ in
But your eyes don’t land where they’ve always been
There’s a shadow leanin’ on the fence out back
Boot heels grindin’ in the railroad tracks
You don’t say his name but I see the flame
Every time the daylight starts to change
________________________________________
Pre-Chorus
You get restless when the sky turns rust
Like you’re chasin’ somethin’ you can’t discuss
________________________________________
Chorus
When the sun goes down
And the streetlights hum
I feel that itch under my skin
Like trouble’s comin’
You swear there’s nothin’
But I’ve seen that look
Night don’t lie and neither do I
Baby, I ain’t that shook
But I know what I’ve seen
When the sun goes down
________________________________________
Verse 2
Front porch swing don’t rock the same
When a woman’s heart starts playin’ games
I ain’t a fool and I ain’t blind
Just countin’ cracks in the back of your mind
There’s a truck that idles two houses down
Same headlights circlin’ this town
You call me crazy, call me proud
But silence screams when it gets too loud
________________________________________
Pre-Chorus
You say I drink too much at night
Maybe I just see too right
________________________________________
Chorus
When the sun goes down
And the crickets sing
There’s a cold wind cuttin’ through
Every little thing
You say I’m jealous
Like it’s a sin
But the dark brings out
What the light keeps hid
And I know what I’ve seen
When the sun goes down
________________________________________
Bridge
Night don’t make a liar…
It just pulls the truth out slow.
And if there’s nothin’ goin’ on…
Why you tremble when I let you go?
________________________________________
Final Chorus
When the sun goes down
And the whiskey burns
Every match you strike
Is a lesson learned
You can call me crazy
You can call me wrong
But a man knows when
He’s ’bout to be gone
Yeah I know what I’ve seen…
When the sun… goes down…
