Sundowners

Sundowners

The rounders
become sundowners
as night falls

They'd ride into the twilight
pretty ladies are a waitin

Down on the dance floor
howling at the moon
going round & round

The whiskey flowed
floating into the moonlight
sundowners riding

Wild as Mustangs
those pretty gals

They'd ride into the midnight
drift off dreaming
the trail boss is hollerin

pull down your hat
hitch up your britches

Spurs jingling
lassoes & lariats swingin
get your head on straight

Cause when day dawns
get your grub, drink your Joe

Rounders rolling
pull on their boots
and round em up

Sundowners riding wild ones
they buck, they sun fish
cowboys curse em

Round & Round
they're stampedin
pull on your dancing boots

The ladies are swayin
so round em up
