[Intro]
A D A E A
[Verse 1]
AWe were riding from Durango Dback in Colorado
ASomewhere way upon the Great DiEvide
Well we rAode through hell and thunder, I guess it’s no wDonder
It’d cAome back now so clEearly in my mAind
[Verse 2]
AWhen the sky and you were brothers, Dthe wind your next of kin
ALightning and clouds could freeze your sEoul
The fAear will pass on through you like the icDe cold hand of winter
AWash you clean and leaEve you feeling whAole
[Chorus]
And he said Dgoodnight to Carolyn in the SuAnset
AHe did it every evening so they Esay
He’d just waAnder off from us, go to Dsee the stock is fed
You’d sAee him out against the sky rEemembering what she’d Asaid
When you’re Dtired of riding out there all aAlone
AWhen it’s time to put your saddle up and finally come on hEome
I’ll be herAe waiting for you, it’s a prDomise that I’ll keep
“Cause I’ll Abe there in your sunset when the wEorld goes off to sAleep
[Verse 3]
AWell the years have come and gone now, DI’m a better man
ATrails and time have gone their separate waEys
You know I stAill ride on up there dDeep inside me somewhere
And watcAh the closing of Eanother daDy
[Chorus]
When you’re Dtired of riding out there all aAlone
AWhen it’s time to put your saddle up and finally come on hEome
I’ll be herAe waiting for you, it’s a prDomise that I’ll keep
“Cause I’ll Abe there in your sunset when the wEorld goes off to sAleep
Yes I’ll be Athere in your sunset when the woErld goes off to slDeepA

It’d come back now so clearly in my mind

When the sky and you were brothers, the wind your next of kin

Lightning and clouds could freeze your soul

Wash you clean and leave you feeling whole

And he said goodnight to Carolyn in the Sunset

He did it every evening so they say

He’d just wander off from us, go to see the stock is fed

You’d see him out against the sky remembering what she’d said

When you’re tired of riding out there all alone

When it’s time to put your saddle up and finally come on home

I’ll be here waiting for you, it’s a promise that I’ll keep
