Evening Sun
Old Crow Medicine Show
The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
In the alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin' round the yard I'll be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car There's a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky But the earth is just one station in that lonesome starry line And there's a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track And I'm just an empty coal car on that train not coming back -Chorus- But I hate to see that evening sun go down When it's lonesome coming down on my trail And I know this train will take me where I'm bound But I hate to see that evening sun go down The sidewalks have their streetlamps the city has her glow The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow But the nighttime can't be trusted to return the morning sun My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I got on -Chorus- Don't the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad line It's the setting sun you're chasing in that dark and rolling sky -Chorus-
