[Verse 1]
All day long I slave at this job I hate
Sometimes this old blue collar feels like a ball and chain
All that gets me through is the thought of you
And knowing that you'll be waiting at the end of the day
[Chorus]
So hurry sundown, hurry sundown
When shadows fall, we'll leave it all behind
Hurry sundown, hurry sundown
'Cause the day's been rough but when we make love
Everything's gonna be all right
[Verse 2]
It must be hard for you, you've got so much to do
And I know sometimes the day seems so long
But from dusk 'til dawn, we're in each other's arms
And the love we share keeps us holding on
[Chorus]
So hurry sundown, hurry sundown
When shadows fall, we'll leave it all behind
Hurry sundown, hurry sundown
'Cause the day's been rough but when we make love
Everything's gonna be all right
[Tag]
Oh the day's been rough but when we make love
Everything's gonna be all right
