Sunset Man

Lyrics

I used to wake up early every day
 Just to feel the sunrise on my face
 Me and my woman in the front porch swing
 Listenin' to the mornin' mockingbird sing
 Well I woke one day to a screen door slam
 Found a good-bye note on our nightstand
 Next to a coffee cup and a wedding band
 Since then I've been a sunset man
 Chorus:
 When I see the sunrise comin' up
 I draw the curtains down
 'Cause the mornin' brings her memory around
 I know it's warm and beautiful and lights up the sky
 But these days it only hurts my eyes
 I don't show my face to the afternoon
 Anything A.M. is just too soon
 'Cause it reminds how she up and ran
 And damned me to be a sunset man
 Chorus
 It's hard not to cry but I'll do my best
 And just keep this ole chair facin' west
 Till she puts that ring back on her hand
 I guess I'll always be a sunset man
 Well I'll always be a sunset man
 Yeah I'll always be a sunset man
