And night the breeze was beautiful. Tar beach, that was our meeting place And we had, we had fun galore. When I went home My mother was beautiful Our food was really together Rice and beans, that's our soul food With a little cuchifritos in the side And for a little dessert we had mavi, The grooviest taste and trigger want to try Everything was beautiful to me Margeritto, my beautiful barrio, my ghetto.

Waves crashing on her feet Standing in some rolled up jeans Making tracks in the sand It's like she's living in a photograph But disappearing silouhette Flip flop in her hands And every kiss is burnt and hot I can't let them go to waste Let's say the night is all that we've got And I'm ready for the chase We can be sun downers, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging lets keep this dream awake Let's go out into the AM But tonight let's be some sun downers (sun downers) Blue gives into the black Red lips just like a match That sets me on fire While the whole falls asleep Every look that you're giving me Is taking me higher And every kiss is burnt and hot I can't let them go to waste And once we start, we can't stop Like 80 with no brakes We can be sun downers, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging, lets keep this dream awake Let's go out into the AM But tonight let's be some sun downers (sun downers) We can be the only two up When they close down this town Lets just live it up til it comes back around We can be sundowners We can be come unwounders Sundowners, edge of towners Waiting on a spark Silent sounders, come unwounders Tangled in the dark Like the moon is hanging, lets keep this dream awake Let's go out until the AM But tonight let's be some sundowners Let's just be some come unwounders We can be some play it louders Gotta start sundowners (Yeah) Sundowners Sundowners Let's just be some sundowners
