Lyrics

Things can change
Even the mountains can change
Sundown comes around, over and over
Oh, in life, sometimes sunshine
Can be washed away by the rain
Oh, but when sundown comes, I can say
"Lord, I made it one more day"
'Cause when she left and took her love away
Never thought today I'd be okay (Be okay)
Enough to say
Oh, it's all over now
But I'm gonna make it somehow
Oh, I woke up many a day
Oh, but I never awaken, no
To the games that people play
'Til after her love had been taken
Sundown comes, I can say
"Lord, I made it one more day"
'Cause when she left and took her love away (Love away)
Never thought today I'd be okay (Be okay)
Enough to say
Sundown
Oh, no
Oh, never thought I'd find the thrill
Sundown, come on, sundown, oh yeah
I'll find the thrill in the sun going down behind the hill
When sundown comes, I can say
"Lord, I made it one more day"
'Cause when she left and took her love away (Love away)
Never thought today I'd be okay (Be okay)
Hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey (Hey), hey!
When sundown comes, I can say
"Lord, I made it one more day"
'Cause when she left and took her love away
Never thought today I'd be okay
(I say) Sundown comes, I can say
"Lord, I made it one more day"
'Cause when she left and took her love away (I tell ya)
I never thought today I'd be okay
