Tony Joe White - Place to Watch the Sun Go Down lyrics

Green John Deeres and red Formalls And old men in overalls I don't know why But I remember it all They would follow the plow Until their hide turned brown Sling their sweat into the ground Looking for a place to watch the sun go down The river waited at the the end of the day You could wash the heat away And the young boys dove out of trees And horsed around The times were moving kinda slow There was no clock said you had to go We stayed in the water Until the sun went down Campfires burning and stories told A guitar strumming kinda low It's a good place to go When the sun goes down Blue jean jumpers in the fall Parched peanuts and popcorn balls I don't know why But I remember it all Now I know I gone beyond my time I should have known when I crossed the line But the music felt so fine, I was part of the sound But now I'm looking for a place to watch the sun go down
