Now lately, I've been wonderin' honey
Why you don't come home at the end of the day
When your work is through
So yesterday when the sun went down
The moon rose on your trail

It just dawned on me
What sundown does to you?
It just dawned on me
What sundown does to you?

It puts a clear in your eyes
Somehow I could never do
You wanna lean on the jukebox, sip on a cool one
And hang around a place
Where you just might find one

It dawned on me
What sundown does to you

Now honey you know, sundown falls on everyone
When I say everyone, well that includes me too
So tonight when that old moon comes out
You can bet, I'll be cut out too

It just dawned on me
What sundown does to you?
It just dawned on me
Well, it dawned on me
What sundown does to you?
