lyrics

If you go to Sundown, dear
Don’t bother to bring wine
The grapes there just ripen off the vine
And if you go to Sundown, dear
Be careful with that crowd
They’ll break your heart like bread and pass it ‘round

But don’t get discouraged
Don’t lose faith
Your friends are here to keep your head in place
Don’t get discouraged
Just move your feet on over
And come hang out on Sundown Street

Kayleigh is a streetside poet bedsheet sloganeer
And she’s gonna have a breakout year
You ask her ‘bout her romance, she says
“You can’t hurry love.
Diana Ross said that, and that’s enough.”

So, don’t get discouraged
Don’t lose hope
If you start to drown, we’ll come out in a boat
Don’t get discouraged
Just move your feet on over
And come hang out on Sundown Street

This afternoon, we’ll spread white linen
Facing to the sky
We’re gonna make these ancient houses fly
So take your bikes to Wayne and go buy out the grocery store
And we can live like this forever more

So, don’t get discouraged
When you've got love
If you’re lonely, dear,
Then come in for a hug
Don’t get discouraged
Just move your feet on over
And come hang out on Sundown Street

about

The Jaywalkers Dayton, Ohio

The Jaywalkers were born from the creative ferment of the University of Dayton music scene of the mid ‘00s. We started out playing activities board concerts, house parties etc. and got our baptism of fire in a battle of the bands where we had the honor of squaring off against Kelly Fine and other greats of the UD music scene eventually opening for Guster at the UD Arena.

The chicks are great too. ... more
