Never had the chance to know
If love replaces what can't grow
One thing's sure, a stone's a stone
Dreaded sundown
Never thought I'd have to choose
Between myself and loving you
Even cowboys get the blues
Dreaded sundown

Ooh, it's coming 'round
Shadows fall across the dusty ground
Save me from this town
Mm, dreaded sundown

Mm, dreaded sundown
Hmm-mm, ah

Pace the floor and hold my breath
Time can't wait for those we've left
Every day, a little death
Dreaded sundown
Yeah, luck don't live here anymore
Wasted youth, don't know what for
Now nothing waits outside my door
Dreaded sundown

Ooh, it's coming 'round
Shadows fall across the dusty ground
Save me from this town
Ooh, dreaded sundown

Ooh, dreaded sundown
Ooh, dreaded sundown
Ooh, dreaded sundown
