James Otto

Sunset Man
(James Otto / Shannon Lawson / John Rich) 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 SongtexteAnd 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 Aus Songtexte Mania
