I'll see you at sundown

You can't back out now

The news is all over town



I'll see you at sundown

And they can put one of us

In a hole in the ground, oh yeah



Now it's three in the afternoon

And I'm frightened to death waiting for you in the saloon

I wonder if he feels the same

For whoever wins there's still a cowboy to blame



Sundown, give me some strength

I know I can't go it alone

Sundown, give me your strength

Give me a chance to go home

To go home



Well even if I shouldn't win

And I'm frightened to death when it's in it again

I hear the reverend feels it's a sin

(I'll get on my horse and ride)

For whoever wins he's going to carry the blame



Sundown, give me some strength

I know I can't go it alone oh

Sundown, give me your strength

Give me a chance to come home
