In your arms you held me
And didn't you tell me
That you'd always be around
No more lonesome sundowns
Oh you promised that you
Had a mind to be true
Keep your heart and your hands
On your one and only man
But I guess it's just the way
That some females will behave
Turn a man into a cloud
And then leave him with a lonesome sundown

In my dreams you adore me
And do wonderful things for me
But then when I awaken
I find I've been mistaken
And I just don't understand
Why so many other men
Get that sweet special treatment
That I thought was our secret
All the boys try to tree you
Everytime they see you
Running all over town
While all I see is a lonesome sundown

If your words say we're together
Then why am I always alone
Just me and the sun, watchin' the evening come
You never show, I should've known

Now I don't mean to own you
And I try not to bemoan you
'Cause I know you've got friends
You want to see 'em now and then
But it's worse than unfair
When you say you'll be there
Then the evening rolls by
And you never arrive
Well I guess that's just the way
Some females will behave
Turn a man into a cloud
And then leave him with a lonesome sundown
