Cover art for Street Fighting Sun lyrics by Blitzen Trapper

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

epic face-melting slide guitar solo
