Edge Of Sundown Lyrics - Molly Hatchet

On the edge of sundown, a man rode into town 

His clothes were old and dirty like the guns he wore low down 

And as he rode the people stared, tried to look on him 

He's the man who'll take your life, take your life to boothill 

Sleeps by day and rides by night 

Like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight 

Got cold steel a bowie knife, just his way of life 

He took no one, no not a sound, stares at the edge of town 

Only time that he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown 

Take you for your dollars babe, take you for your gold 

Make your life so miserable, he's gonna leave you mean and cold 

And then he'll head on out, to another town 

The only time when he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown 

Next time he'll be sundown. 

He's a killer and a robber and he'll make you grieve 

Shoot you in the back or in your sleep 

Got no name or identity 

Livin' in the wind, he's free---
