Sun Goes Down Lyrics

Thirteen cigarettes, seven empty beer can
Sitting on the hood, watching all the planes land
I was tired of talking so we try to steal a base
She said, "I ain't saying no but at least we ought to wait"
Until the sun goes down
'Til the sun goes down
Until that sun goes down, goes down
Yeah
Sitting at that stop light, had to roll the window down
I flipped a finger at a fellow from the school across town
He said, "You better bring every friend you've got
We're gonna settle this tonight in the parking lot"
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When that sun goes down, goes down
Lost the girl, lost the fight
I blame it all on the reckless nights
Things don't always work out like you plan
But there's always a second chance
When the sun goes down
Yeah, tonight we're chipping in and headed to the liquor store
Should I act older than we did a week before
But I'm going out like a bullet from a gun
'Cause you gonna die old if you don't live young
When the sun goes down
When the sun goes down
When that sun goes down, goes down
Yeah
Ah, when the sun goes down, ah
Thirteen cigarettes, seven empty beer can
When the sun goes down
Yeah
