Sunset Grill Lyrics

Don Henley Sunset Grill

Let's go down to the Sunset Grill 
We can watch the working girls go by 
Watch the "basket people" walk around and 
mumble 
And stare out at the auburn sky 
There's an old man there from the Old World 
To him, it's all the same 
Calls all his customers by name 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
You see a lot more meanness in the city 
It's the kind that ears you up inside 
Hard to come away with anything that feels 
like dignity 
Hard to get home with any pride 
These days a man makes you somethin' 
And you never see his face 
But there is no hiding place 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Respectable little murders pay 
They get more respectable every day 
Don't worry girl, I'm gonna stick by you 
And someday soon we're gonna get in that 
car and get outta here 
Let's go down to the Sunset Grill 
Watch the working girls go by 
Watch the "basket people" walk around and 
mumble 
And gaze out at the auburn sky 
Maybe we'll leave come springtime 
Meanwhile, have another beer 
What would we do without these jerks 
anyway? 
Besides, all our friends are here 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill 
Down at the Sunset Grill
