Sundown another town, just like the last one
Man said you're still ahead, caught yourself a fast one
No escape from your fate by putting' miles behind you
Some place there's no face and nothin' to remind you
But yesterday won't go away and you can't find tomorrow
Sometimes you wonder wont it ever come again
Seems the world is standin' still,
your feet are on the old treadmill
And, Sundown is just, another town
So here you are, another bar, in just another city
Thick smoke, tired jokes, beginnings of self pity
And look around and get the sound of music loud and laughter
A new song moves you on, forever traveling faster
But yesterday won't go away and you can't find tomorrow
Sometimes you wonder wont it ever come again
Seems the world is standin' still,
your feet are on the old treadmill
And, Sundown is just, another town
Every shadow is a sentence, every corner is a page
Of a chapter in your life you tried to close
Every morning in the mirror you expect to see your face
Not a memory time and distance car to race.
But yesterday won't go away and you can't find tomorrow
Sometimes you wonder wont it ever come again
Seems the world is standin' still,
your feet are on the old treadmill
And, Sundown is just, another town
And, Sundown is just, another town
And, Sundown is just, another town
