Sundown - Josh Woodward

The sun is hanging low on the skyline

On this sleepy old Ohio town

The people think that change is the devil

So the sun is not allowed to go down

And the drivers eyes are glued to the rearview

Cuz his car is always in reverse

And if you race to where you’ve already been, then

You are always gonna get there first

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the land that time forgot

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the town of the sundown

It sure ain’t much, but it’s the only town I’ve got

Every time I open the paper

To the letters to the editor page

The trogolodytes who can’t keep their mouths shut

They’ve really got me in a fumin' rage

This self-appointed king of the virtues

Trying to sell us what we threw away

He’s a dumpster-diving prophet

He could rule the USA

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the land that time forgot

Welcome to the town of the sundown

Welcome to the town of the sundown

It sure ain’t much, but it’s the only town I’ve got

So this is what our children inherit

It’s what our parents left behind for us

The trophies from our grandpa’s old basement

With a thicker coat of rust and dust

I guess there’s nothing left to discover

So let’s just park our cars and rest

Cuz the mission here’s accomplished

Don’t it feel like a success?
