Street Fighting Sun

(album: American Goldwing - 2011)

Well I took my lady and a rifle and my truck
And I drove to the top of the hill
I took out my gun and I shot down the sun
But the sun it ain't so easy to kill
So I pushed out my sneeze, left my lady in the trees
Started swinging like an old-time saloon
Had an all-day kickdown dragout fight
With the sun and his brother, the moon

So darling don't you slumber darling don't you sleep
'Til the sun is but a beggar doing tricks up in the street
Darling don't you slumber darling don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is fast asleep

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

Well I woke up on the street with the shadows at my feet
Thinking maybe I should call it a day
'Til I heard the rooster call sitting up on the wall
I guess he had him something to say
So I wandered all around in the mountains in the dark
Getting silly by the light of the moon
For the sun had gone away, guess I whipped him anyway
Now I'm thinking that I spoke too soon

So darling don't you slumber darling don't you sleep
'Til the sun is but a beggar doing tricks up in the street
Darling don't you slumber darling don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is fast asleep

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
