The Walkabouts - Sundowner Lyrics
Deaf as a fence postAlone on a winter's nightI'm drunk as a racehorseBut I'll never fade outta sightThere's a wild below meA wild up there in the starsThere's a history behind meA child gone cold in my armsTell George and TammyI'm ripe for the taking these daysIt's a good year for roses(And) a bad year for runnin' in placeBut if they don't believe meI'll do what I always have doneI won't be the sundownerNo I'll never cheat on the sun'Cause when the sun comes upAnd the moon is goneTo the bridge I goTo the bridge I runAnd when I reach the edgeOnto the bridge I crawlAnd when I find you my friendFrom the bridge I fallThis is the last placeThat I've ever been, ever beenIt's the last best placeThat I've ever been, ever beenAnd in spite of my weaknessAnd all my desires to winI won't be the sundownerTomorrow I'll leave here again'Cause when the sun comes upAnd I need a friendTo the bridge I runWhen I need a friendAnd when I meet the edgeOnto the bridge I crawlAnd when I find you my friendIt's from the bridge I fall
