Like a Sunset

Verse

Out on this gravel road, kickin' up dust in my boots

Sittin' in my old Ford, starin' at the dashboard truth

Black hair fallin' like midnight rain down her back

Blue eyes, yeah, those blue eyes, pullin' me right back

Verse

Whiskey in a mason jar, burnin' slow like summer hay

Try to shake her memory, but it won't fade away

She left with the wind, took my heart in her hand

Still see that sunset glow when I close my eyes, man

Chorus

Blue eyes like a sunset (sunset, burnin' low)

Paintin' the sky in colors only she could show

Black hair in the breeze, hauntin' every dream I know

Can't get over you, darlin', no matter where I go

(Oh-oh, blue eyes) like a sunset, stealin' my soul

Verse

Friday nights at the honky-tonk, dancin' with strangers' smiles

But her shadow's on the jukebox, playin' our old miles

Fields of golden wheat swayin' under harvest moon

Her blue eyes callin' me home too damn soon

Chorus

Blue eyes like a sunset (sunset, burnin' low)

Paintin' the sky in colors only she could show

Black hair in the breeze, hauntin' every dream I know

Can't get over you, darlin', no matter where I go

(Oh-oh, blue eyes) like a sunset, stealin' my soul

Chorus

Blue eyes like a sunset (sunset, yeah)

(Blue eyes, blue eyes) stealin' my soul
