Orville Peck Dreaded Sundown Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Never had the chance to know
If love replaces what can't grow
One thing's sure, a stone's a stone
Dreaded sundown
Never thought I'd have to choose
Between myself and loving you
Even cowboys get the blues
Dreaded sundown

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's coming 'round
Shadows fall across the dusty ground
Save me from this town
Mm, dreaded sundown

[Post-Chorus]
Mm, dreaded sundown
Hmm-mm, ah

[Verse 2]
Pace the floor and hold my breath Time can't wait for those we've left
Every day, a little death
Dreaded sundown
Yeah, luck don't live here anymore
Wasted youth, don't know what for
Now nothing waits outside my door
Dreaded sundown

[Chorus]
Ooh, it's coming 'round
Shadows fall across the dusty ground
Save me from this town
Ooh, dreaded sundown

[Outro]
Ooh, dreaded sundown
Ooh, dreaded sundown
Ooh, dreaded sundown
