Evening Sun

(Ed Bentley)

E Bentley, D Rivers
Met Dan Rivers in Nashville at a NASI event... You never know where songs are going to come from...
Evening Sun Ed Bentley / Dan Rivers

Late for work, half asleep, kiss Amy, at the doorway
Spilled Maxwell house in my lap, out on highway forty
Traffic jam, up ahead, I'm not surprised
Morning drive, killin' me, sun's always in my eyes

pre chorus
I can hear my Dad, he had this take on life
Drivin' east in the morning, you're blinded by the light
At night you face that red sky, feeling beaten down
Good woman like your momma, will bring you back around, he said....

Chorus
She's my evening sun, her warm light shines on me
When I'm down and cold, her kiss turns up the heat
One thing I can count on, when a long, hard day is done
My nights a whole lot brighter, cause she's my evening sun

Driving home, thinking back, dairy queen on Friday nights
Me and Amy talking, how we'd spend our life
We got what we wanted, we're living out our plans
Sometimes I forget, what a lucky man I am
pre chorus
Same job, same drive, face that same ole sun
I can lose it on a hard day, still come undone
One thing keeps me going, I break out in a smile
Getting home to Amy, makes it all worthwhile, cause

Chorus
Bridge
Growing up , I wasnt sure, what dad was talking bout'
Just one look at Amy, I know without a doubt
Chorus (2)
