[Verse 1] Clock hands crawl like a broke-down Ford, Same ol’ barstool, same ol’ floor. Sunlight’s hangin’ on the edge of town, But it don’t feel right with you not around. [Pre-Chorus] Every shadow stretchin’ longer, Every minute pulls me under. [Chorus] I’m still waitin’ on sundown, To wash your memory out. 'Neath that whiskey-colored sky To drown what I can’t put down. When the daylight fades away, Maybe pain don’t hurt as loud — Yeah, I’m still waitin’ on sundown. [Verse 2] Your perfume’s hidin’ in the smoke, Bartender laughs at my last hope. Neon buzzin’ like a warning sign, Sayin’ “boy, she’s gone, quit wastin’ time.” [Pre-Chorus] But every song just cuts me deeper, Every sip just burns me weaker. [Chorus] I’m still waitin’ on sundown, To wash your memory out. 'Neath that whiskey-colored sky To drown what I can’t put down. When the daylight fades away, Maybe pain don’t hurt as loud — Yeah, I’m still waitin’ on sundown. [Bridge] Moonlight hits that empty chair, Swear I see you sittin’ there. If I close my eyes, I can hear your sound — But I’m still waitin’ on sundown. [Final Chorus] I’m still waitin’ on sundown, For the dark to do me proud. Maybe heartbreak’s easier When the stars all come out. When the night takes what’s left of me, And the quiet calms me down — I’ll stop waitin’ on sundown.
