Well I took my lady and my rifle and my truck And I drove to the top of the hill I took my gun and I shot down the sun But the sun it ain't so easy to kill So I pushed out my skis, left my lady in the trees Started swingin' like an old-time saloon Had an all-day kickdown dragout fight With the sun and his brother the moon So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun Well I woke up on the street with the shadows at my feet Thinkin' maybe I should call it a day Till 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 in the dark Gettin' silly by the light of the moon For the sun had gone away, guess I whipped him anyway Now I'm thinkin' that I spoke too soon So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep Til the sun is but a beggar throwin' tricks up in the street So daddy don't you stop but daddy don't you sleep For the moon is but a mirror and the sun is dead asleep You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun You ain't nothin' but a street fightin' sun
