[Verse 1]
Hey, man, where'd you get your tan?
Oh, I'd like to have that sun in me
See I like the sun, but I start to run
Oh, the moments that the sun runs from me

[Chorus]
I am a sundowner
So live and leave
I am a sundowner
Don't let the sun go down on me

[Verse 2]
Hey, Ma, where'd you find Pa?
Oh, I'd like to have some company
See I like a crowd but I don't know how
To keep one surrounding me

[Chorus]
I am a sundowner
So live and leave
I am a sundowner
Don't let the sun go run from me

[Verse 3]
Oh, I went to the market but the markеt was closed
Sign on the window said, “The hours dеvour us”
So I went to the river and it said, “Come here, let me whisper in your ear”
And it pulled me under
So I went to the Lord but the Lord said, “No, you're not welcome here anymore”
So I went to the sky but the sky was closed
Said, “I don't know where I'm gonna go
I am a wandering soul, through the back of what I know”
[Chorus]
I am a sundowner, please
Please
Don't let the sun go down on me

[Verse 4]
Hey, man, where'd you get your tan?
Oh, I'd like to have that sun in me
See I like the sun, but I start to run
Oh, the moment that the sun runs from me

[Chorus]
I am a sundowner, please
Please
Don't let the sun go down on me
