One of my first attempts at writing the 'Western' side of 'Country' music (a result of a writing challenge set on my favourite songwriting site). Although it is a very basic and simple song it remains a firm favourite of mine. I like the message I found in the song.:-)

[b]Sunset[/b]

I?m a quiet sort of man, in a quiet sort of way
I get loud when I?m thinking but I don't have much to say
Don?t need much conversation, when you?re chatting up the herd
Cows understand my thinking better than the spoken word

[b]Chorus:[/b]
I believe in sunrise and I?m grateful every day
That riding underneath the sun?s the way I make my pay
I?m more than just a cowboy but I?m proud of what I do
And I believe in sunsets ?cause they bring me home to you.

The sun comes up each morning and it tracks me through my day
I keep my mind upon the job until it fades away
A cowboy?s life is sometimes hard but nothing I can?t bear
I?d rather ride upon my horse than on that old John Deere

[b]Chorus[/b]:
I believe in sunrise and I?m grateful every day
That riding underneath the sun?s the way I make my pay
I?m more than just a cowboy but I?m proud of what I do
And I believe in sunsets ?cause they bring me home to you.

I heard a potent sermon from a preacher in the town
He talked of righteous living, as if life?s a thorny crown
But to my way of thinking, life?s a truly righteous word
Spoken by the way you live each day and how you ride your herd

[b]Chorus[/b]:
I believe in sunrise and I?m grateful every day
That riding underneath the sun?s the way I make my pay
I?m more than just a cowboy but I?m proud of what I do
And I believe in sunsets ?cause they bring me home to you.

[b]Coda:[/b]
Yes, I believe in sunrise, the Good Lord knows I do
I believe in sunsets and I believe in you.
