Sun Setting Slow (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Sold my soul down at that old crossroads

Devil grinned said, "Boy, the story’s been told"

He sold it back to me for a price I can't recall

Empty pockets jangling, back pressed against the wall

Now my baby gone, left me in the pouring rain

She don’t want my loving, can’t untangle these chains

Devil knocking once, then he knocked again

It’s like chicken in the corn, won’t grow, no way to win

Chorus

Well my baby she don't love me no more

She done walked right out the door

She done took my money left me broke and low

Sun setting slow, ain't got nowhere to go

Chorus

Well my baby she don't love me no more

She done walked right out the door

She done took my money left me broke and low

Sun setting slow, ain't got nowhere to go

Verse 2

Stranded out back just me and my blues

Bottle in my hand, nothing left to lose

Train rolling by calling out my name

Cold wind rising, I can't outrun this pain

Pre-Chorus

She said goodbye on a Monday morn

Empty bed, clothes all torn

Every step out on that floor

Told me she ain't coming 'round here no more

Chorus

Well my baby she don't love me no more

She done walked right out the door

She done took my money left me broke and low

Sun setting slow, ain't got nowhere to go

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

I'm just a blues man, carrying all this pain

No map, no lantern, just a runaway train

Ain’t nobody listening, not a soul to complain

Got these hellhounds scratching, calling out my name

My song drifts out where no one cares to hear

Just me and the night, and my bottle of fear

Footsteps fading fast on a shack made of bone

A heart that's empty, left all alone

Chorus

Well my baby she don't love me no more

She done walked right out the door

She done took my money left me broke and low

Sun setting slow, ain't got nowhere to go
