The first urge is to think sundown is a prostitute. But JeffKaos71's reference I think holds water. Re-read the lyrics and you see that he never really claims sundown to be a prostitute.
"In a room where you do what you don't confess" .. I always thought was a dead giveaway reference to prostitution.
However, not too many married couples confess to what goes on in their bedroom .. hence the wife theory could be consistent with this line. I don't see any other line that supports the prostitution theory any stronger - and now we've debunked its veracity. So the wife theory definitely holds sway in my mind.
In fact, in the prostitute scenario, how does "you better take care If I find you been creepin' 'round my back stairs" get interpretted? I've never completely reconciled that one.
However, in the wife theory .. that line makes complete sense .. he's warning his wife that she better not be fooling around in their own bedroom or house.
Also, I'm w/ defunct that the lines to which he refers are pretty F'ing awesome. Really cuts to the chase, sends chills deep into your soul (especially if you've ever worn the same shoes as sundown's lover)
