about

This is an upbeat acoustic folk song about a truck driver who has at least 9 wives. One in every town he stops in at night. But they dont know about each other, at least not yet...

lyrics

THE KINGS OF SETTING SUN

We're The Kings Of The Setting Sun
By the day on the road we truck we roll and we run
Every day another place
Find a girl, I like your face
Tell her lies to get her home
I can never be alone.

We're the Kings of the setting sun
And that ring, that thing on your finger, its the only one
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
Of the setting sun
Am I forgetting anyone

We're the Princes of the dying light
Don't wake me up I'm afraid to talk in the night
All I left you was a memory
Tied up in a piece of jewellery
It looked so fine upon your hand
Remember me I'm your only man

We're the Kings of the setting sun
And that ring, that thing on your finger, its the only one
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
Of the setting sun
Am I forgetting anyone

No matter where I'm at I'm always homeward bound
Another sunset another town
Some day soon I'll be found
Cos I get around and it comes around
(Oh yes it does)

We're the Dukes of the drawing dusk
And I'll meet your family but only if I must
You sent your brothers after me
That wasn't big of you but it was bigamy
They broke my hand took you away from me.
But I've still got the other 3...
4... 5... 6
7... 8... 9

We're the Kings of the setting sun
And that ring, that thing on your finger, its the only one
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
We're the king king kings
Of the setting sun
Am I forgetting anyone
Am I forgetting anyone
Am I forgetting anyone
