[Verse 1]
In the evening at sundown is when I start to cry
When the sweet memories of you keep drifting by
I'm alone and forsaken, you've torn me apart
For the way that you're living is breaking my heart

[Verse 2]
I can't go on living your cruel, wicked ways
Many times I have prayed, "Lord, take me away"
That's why in the evening, we seem so far apart
For the way that you're living is breaking my heart

[Slide Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
Night after night, I cry myself to sleep
While you're out cheating like a tramp on the street
My head now is bowed, you've torn me apart
For thе way that you're living is breaking my heart

[Verse 4]
Thеre's a new day tomorrow, but I can plainly see
There'll be no sunshine for you and for me
It would be better for us both to go ahead and part
For the way that you're living is breaking my heart
