Dark at Five

Dark at Five

Heard livin’ in the city helps a man forget his past

So I traded in my pickup for a monthly transit pass

But a country boy like me just don’t belong

I wish that I could get back home

It’s gettin' dark at five

Oh, it’s gettin’ dark at five

A little bit of whiskey, and I’ll feel fine as I can be

But I wish I had some company, ‘cos I’m sick to death of me

Starin’ at the door where she walked out

Rain is fallin’, ain’t no doubt

It’s gettin' dark at five

Oh, it’s gettin’ dark at five

This avenue to nowhere stretches far as the eye can see

Ain’t no doubt about it, the city’s beaten me (why can't I see?)

I’m trying to believe better days are gonna come

Try and shake the feeling that the best days are all done

I thought that summer would never end

Now December’s blowin’ in

It’s gettin' dark at five

Oh, it’s gettin’ dark at five
