    Story Behind the Song
    Love, music, liquor, unemployment, poverty and hygiene in a God-fearing town with one church, one bar and one piano all in the same whiskey soaked ballad. The only thing better is to hear it live.

    The music began as a loose, slobbering country/gospel rockabilly thing, but it changed to a whiskey drunk ballad, the morning after a hard night when I said to my then-girlfriend, "Oh my god, I'll feel much better when the sun goes down." The lyrics fell out that night.

    Lyrics
    1
    I only play the piano
    Cause I can’t play guitar
    And I only drink at home
    Cause I can’t afford the bar
    Well I been looking for you baby
    On the wrong side of town
    But I'll feel much better
    when the sun goes down

    2
    I wear the same shirt
    Every night of the week
    And a job isn’t something
    That's easy to keep
    Well I'm too busy drinking
    To write a happy song
    But I'll feel much better
    when the sun goes down

    Chorus
    When the sun goes down
    When the sun goes down
    When the sun goes down
    When the sun goes down
    Everything will be all right

    Solo

    3
    I only wear this hat
    Cause I don’t comb my hair
    And I act like a fool
    Just to watch people stare
    Well I know it's hard to love me
    When I'm laying on the ground
    But I'll feel much better
    when the sun goes down

    Chorus
