Sundowner Lyrics - Walkabouts

Deaf as a fence post 

Alone on a winter's night 

I'm drunk as a racehorse 

But I'll never fade outta sight 

There's a wild below me 

A wild up there in the stars 

There's a history behind me 

A child gone cold in my arms 

Tell George and Tammy 

I'm ripe for the taking these days 

It's a good year for roses 

(And) a bad year for runnin' in place 

But if they don't believe me 

I'll do what I always have done 

I won't be the sundowner 

No I'll never cheat on the sun 

'Cause when the sun comes up 

And the moon is gone 

To the bridge I go 

To the bridge I run 

And when I reach the edge 

Onto the bridge I crawl 

And when I find you my friend 

From the bridge I fall 

This is the last place 

That I've ever been, ever been 

It's the last best place 

That I've ever been, ever been 

And in spite of my weakness 

And all my desires to win 

I won't be the sundowner 

Tomorrow I'll leave here again 

'Cause when the sun comes up 

And I need a friend 

To the bridge I run 

When I need a friend 

And when I meet the edge 

Onto the bridge I crawl 

And when I find you my friend 

It's from the bridge I fall
