Street Fighting Sun

Blitzen Trapper

Well I took my lady and a rifle and my truck

And I drove to the top of the hill

I took out my gun and I shot down the sun

But the sun it ain't so easy to kill

So I pushed up my sleeves, left my lady in the trees

Started swingin' like an old-time saloon

Had an all-day kick-down drag-out fight

With the sun and his brother the moon

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

So darlin' don't you slumber, darlin' don't you sleep

Til the sun is but a beggar doing tricks up in the street

Darlin' don't you slumber, darlin' don't you sleep

For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is fast asleep

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

Well I woke up on the street with the shadows at my feet

Thinking maybe I should call it a day

Til I heard the rooster call sittin' up on the wall

I guess he had him something to say

So I wandered all around in the mountains and the ground

Gettin' silly by the light of the moon

For the sun had gone away, guess I whipped him anyway

Now I'm thinking that I spoke too soon

So darlin' don't you slumber, darlin' don't you sleep

Til the sun is but a beggar doing tricks up in the street

Darlin' don't you slumber, darlin' don't you sleep

For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is fast asleep

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun

You ain't nothing but a street fighting sun
