Sun Go Down

We take no prisoners
 When it rains it pours
 Give me time, give me sweet by and by
 And I know we can make it through it
 When they say that it's not true
 When I say that I love you
 It's all right, I'll be standing by your side
 When they say that it's not so
 He won't be with you when you grow old
 Just wait and we can prove them wrong
 So give them time and they'll come around
 You got to stay alive when the sun goes down
 To see the glory of the city is open wide
 'Cause tonight, darling, you will be my bride
 Well, the people up in Detroit
 They get their soul from Marvin Gaye
 And the people down in California
 Get their sunshine in L.A.
 From the bluegrass to the blues
 Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes
 Singing sweet Mississippi ghost, crooning slide guitar
 Down in Texas it's all right
 With it's hot tequila nights
 Selling romance of riding into Mexico
 So give them time and they'll come around
 You got to stay alive when the sun goes down
 To see the glory of the city is open wide
 'Cause tonight, darling, you will be my bride
 Well, the preachers down in greenwood
 They stomp the gospel out on hardwood floors
 And the gamblers lost in Vegas
 Don't believe it any more
 Well, they're trying just to behave
 Hearing Robert Johnson from the grave
 Running scared with the hell hounds still on his trail
 And Jacob in the field
 To the angel's strength he yields
 You feel the spirit moving and it's hard to fail
 So give them time and they'll come around
 You got to stay alive when the sun goes down
 To see the glory of the city is open wide
 'Cause tonight, darling, you will be my bride
