Deaf as a fence post Alone on a winter's night I'm drunk as a racehorse But I'll never fade outta sight There's a wild below me A wild up there in the stars There's a history behind me A child gone cold in my arms Tell George and Tammy I'm ripe for the taking these days It's a good year for roses (And) a bad year for runnin' in place But if they don't believe me I'll do what I always have done I won't be the sundowner No I'll never cheat on the sun 'Cause when the sun comes up And the moon is gone To the bridge I go To the bridge I run And when I reach the edge Onto the bridge I crawl And when I find you my friend From the bridge I fall This is the last place That I've ever been, ever been It's the last best place That I've ever been, ever been And in spite of my weakness And all my desires to win I won't be the sundowner Tomorrow I'll leave here again 'Cause when the sun comes up And I need a friend To the bridge I run When I need a friend And when I meet the edge Onto the bridge I crawl And when I find you my friend It's from the bridge I fall
