🎵 Sunset On Your Face 🎤 Jordi Davis 💿 Genre: Old Western ABOUT THIS SONG As the lamps flicker on below, the pre-chorus catches the moment he lets himself believe in the welcome waiting for him. The chorus works like a blessing spoken over him: the running is over, the long trail has ended, and there is a place for him here. The second verse moves through the town at a walk. Children pause, old-timers take his measure, and he greets them with the easy nod of a man who has survived rough country and still chose to return. In the bridge the song hints at what drove him out: grief, hard weather, a road that bent him. Yet he stands tall at the spot where his story began, as if every mile had been leading him back to someone. The final chorus lets the light fade gently on a man finally at rest.
Lyrics
[Verse 1] He come over the ridge at dusk Hat brim low in the gold One hand on the saddle horn One eye on the road Dust on his boots, long miles behind Spur marks in the clay He’d been gone so long from home Now home was close away [Pre-Chorus] The town lights blinked alive Like a promise in the air He drew a slow breath in And let it meet him there [Chorus] Ride on in, ride on in Sunset on your face Ride on in, ride on in Find your place (ride on in) Ride on in, ride on in You don’t have to run The trail is done The trail is done [Verse 2] Kids stopped playin’ by the store Old men watched him pass A ribbon of red on the western sky Caught in the window glass He tipped two fingers to the hat To the barkeep at the door Like a man who’s seen hard country And still came back for more [Pre-Chorus] The wind moved through the cottonwoods Soft as a memory He tied his horse beside the rail And smiled like he was free [Chorus] Ride on in, ride on in Sunset on your face Ride on in, ride on in Find your place (ride on in) Ride on in, ride on in You don’t have to run The trail is done The trail is done [Bridge] And maybe he’d been chased by loss Maybe he’d been bent by rain But a man can cross a thousand miles Just to stand where he was named So he stepped out square and straight As the evening turned to blue Like every road he’d ever taken Was leadin’ him to you [Final Chorus] Ride on in, ride on in Sunset on your face Ride on in, ride on in Find your place (ride on in) Ride on in, ride on in You don’t have to run The trail is done The trail is done
