Sunset Man Lyrics - James Otto

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 Ive 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 its warm and beautiful and lights up the sky 

But these days it only hurts my eyes 

I dont 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 

Its hard not to cry but Ill do my best 

And just keep this ole chair facin west 

Till she puts that ring back on her hand 

I guess Ill always be a sunset man 

Well Ill always be a sunset man 

Yeah Ill always be a sunset man
