Well I took my lady and my rifle and my truck
And I drove to the top of the hill
I took my gun and I shot down the sun
But the sun it ain't so easy to kill
So I pushed out my skis, left my lady in the trees
Started swingin' like an old-time saloon
Had an all-day kickdown dragout fight
With the sun and his brother the moon
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
Well I woke up on the street with the shadows at my feet
Thinkin' maybe I should call it a day
Till 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 in the dark
Gettin' silly by the light of the moon
For the sun had gone away, guess I whipped him anyway
Now I'm thinkin' that I spoke too soon
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
And I drove to the top of the hill
I took my gun and I shot down the sun
But the sun it ain't so easy to kill
So I pushed out my skis, left my lady in the trees
Started swingin' like an old-time saloon
Had an all-day kickdown dragout fight
With the sun and his brother the moon
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
Well I woke up on the street with the shadows at my feet
Thinkin' maybe I should call it a day
Till 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 in the dark
Gettin' silly by the light of the moon
For the sun had gone away, guess I whipped him anyway
Now I'm thinkin' that I spoke too soon
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street
So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep
For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun

hey! I'm pretty sure the lyrics are this:
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
