Edge Of Sundown lyrics

by Danny Joe Brown





On the edge of sundown, a man rode into town
His clothes were old and dirty like the guns he wore lowdown
As he rode, the people stared, tried to look on him
Heâ??s the man whoâ??ll take your life, take it off to boot hill

Sleeps by day and rides by night like a mongrel always lookinâ?? for a fight
Got cold steel, a bowie knife, itâ??s just his way of life
He took no one, no not a sound, stares at the edge of town
Only time that heâ??ll be found is on the edge of sundown

Take you for your dollars babe, take you for your gold
Heâ??ll make your life so miserable, heâ??s gonna leave you mean and cold
Then heâ??ll head on out yes, to another town
Only time that heâ??ll be found is on the edge of sundown
Next time will be sundown

Oh, kick it!

Heâ??s a killer and a robber and heâ??ll make you grieve
Shoot you in the back or in your sleep
Got no name or identity
Livinâ?? like the wind, heâ??s free
