James Otto - Sunset Man Lyrics

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
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
