Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down, Lord
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down
She swept into town like a fresh sea breeze
Bringing with her all her energies
Everyone who knew her was so surprised
That someone so beautiful, could be so nice
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down, Lord
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down
She had a way with a word and a tilt of a smile
She drove the guys crazy, after awhile
But all the women knew her to be a friend
'Cause she never went after their old men
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down, Lord
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down
She met the young man sittin' in the sand
The next thing you know, they had a plan
But word leaked out way back up north
Where the money she came from said "that won't work"
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down, Lord
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down
One day her father came around
Said, "Honey, come on home, you got to leave this town
We can't have you living in this laid back scene
We'll cut you from the will and it will be obscene"
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down, Lord
Watchin' the sun go down, we were watchin' the sun go down
