Evening Sun
Old Crow Medicine Show

In the alley dogs are barking, chickens crowing down the lane

And I feel just like that rooster and his mournful old refrain

With sun down on my shoulders just a hangin round the yard

Ill be leaving here tomorrow, gonna catch an empty car

Theres a thousand constellations in that brilliant beaming sky

But the earth is just one station in that lonesome starry line

And theres a distant whistle blowing down a rusty stretch of track

And Im just an empty coal car on that train not coming back

-Chorus-

But I hate to see that evening sun go down

When its lonesome coming down on my trail

And I know this train will take me where Im bound

But I hate to see that evening sun go down

The sidewalks have their streetlamps the city has her glow

The poor boy has the moonlight walking in his shadow

But the nighttime cant be trusted to return the morning sun

My eyes have not adjusted to this black face I got on

-Chorus-

Dont the nighttime make you lonesome for that early morning sun

For the light upon that engine reaching towards the dawn

You can spend your whole life racing down rusty railroad line

Its the setting sun youre chasing in that dark and rolling sky

-Chorus-
