When the sun goes down
On any street in any town
The light begins to change
From green to red
Golden amber in my head
And sweet sweet sugar in my veins
I’ve wasted every minute
Every hour, every day
Waiting for my baby’s only sin
Another sip, another taste
Another glass, another case of
Chasing my only true friend
Now don’t you wonder why
Don’t even try to understand
The way that a heartbreak
Can make a fool of any man
I’ll have whatever you’re drinking
Just one for the road
Another glass to raise to you
Another drink, another toast
Another day an hour spent
Wasting all my energy
On someone who just came and went
Why do I love you like I do
Tell me why do I love you like I do
Tell me
When the sun goes down
Through any door in any town
She’s ready for her close up to begin
Another tip, another take
Another click, is all it takes
Miss Guided, Miss Treating once again
Now don’t you wonder why
Don’t even try to understand
The way that a heartbreak
Can make a fool of any man
Another day an hour spent
Wasting all my energy
On someone who just came and went
Why do I love you like I do
Tell me why do I love you like I do
Tell me
When the sun goes down
I could be in any town
My demons, they only want to win
Like I can hear the laughter
A mixer for the pain
A sour whisky for the bottle’s only friend
So set ‘em up Joe
One more time before you go
A shot for my spirit,
A chaser for my ghosts
Just one more sip, to help me Joe
One more hit, to ease the blow
A parting glass, to end the show
Why do I love you like I do
Why do I drink you like I do
Why do I miss you like I do
Why do I need you like I do
