Well it be late on in the evening and I'm out on the outskirts of town
Late on in the evening, I'm out on the outskirts of town
I chews me a seed and I watch that evening sun go down
You know all last night baby, I couldn't sleep the whole night long
I was up walkin' the floor baby, I couldn't sleep the whole night long
I was cryin' for you, I was cryin' for me, I'm the one that done you wrong
Yeah when it's late in the day baby, you're tired, you done had enough
Late in the day baby, you're tired, you done had enough
You know I'll be waitin' baby, dial my number, baby look me up
Child when you're old and gray, you're back is bent your walkin' with a cane
Oh when you're old and gray, you're back is bent your walkin' with a cane
You look back and remember and you know I was your true lovin man
You know my little boy a cryin', beggin' me daddy please don't go
I mean he huggin on my knee, beggin' me daddy please don't go
You see he to young to understand, why mommy don't kiss daddy no more
Well it be late on in the evening and I'm out on the outskirts of town
Late on in the evening, I'm out on the outskirts of town
I chews me a seed and I, watch that evening sun go down.
