Well I do alright in the daylight sunshine seems to keep you off my mind But as evening shadows fall around me it won't be long before I cross the line And when the sun goes down I go crazy I feel like a stranger in this town But that lonesome feeling overtakes me Heartaches come around when the sun goes down [ steel - guitar ] Now each day I ask the same old questions Lord what did I do the night before My friends give me the same old answers and I promise I won't do that anymore But when the sun goes down... Yeah those heartaches come around when the sun goes down
