When the Sun Goes Down

[Verse 1]
Your coffee’s gone cold by the kitchen sink
There’s a grocery list with a heart by the ink
You’re tying your boots while the screen door swings
And the dog keeps watch over everything

[Pre-Chorus]
We don’t need a map or a grand parade
Just your hand in mine at the end of the day

[Chorus]
Let the long road run, let the rain come down
We’ll find our way back to this little town
With your Sunday dress on the clothesline wire
And a porch light burning like a low, steady fire
If the years roll on and the fields turn brown
I’ll still choose you when the sun goes down

[Verse 2]
We bought that old truck with a dent in the side
You laughed when it stalled on the county line
We ate peach pie from a paper plate
And made a whole summer out of being late

[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile we’ve made, every bill we’ve paid
Feels like a promise that we got to keep

[Chorus]
Let the long road run, let the rain come down
We’ll find our way back to this little town
With your Sunday dress on the clothesline wire
And a porch light burning like a low, steady fire
If the years roll on and the fields turn brown
I’ll still choose you when the sun goes down

[Bridge]
Someday these hands may move a little slow
And the kids may call from a thousand miles away
We’ll sit where the maple throws its shade
And tell the same old stories like they’re new again

[Final Chorus]
Let the long road run, let the rain come down
We’ll find our way back to this little town
With your Sunday dress on the clothesline wire
And a porch light burning like a low, steady fire
When the years roll on and the fields turn brown
I’ll still choose you when the sun goes down
Yes, I’ll still choose you when the sun goes down

[Outro]
Your coffee’s gone cold by the kitchen sink
And I’m right here, love, before you can blink
