Whenthe Sun Goes Down
Kenny Chesney & Uncle Kracker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold drink chillin' in my right hand,
Watchin' you sleep in the evening light,
Restin' up for a long long night.
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
All day long, just taking it easy,
Laying in a hammock, where it's nice and breezy,
Been sleepin' off the night before, 'cause when the sun goes down,
We'll be back for more.
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.
This old guitar,and my dark sunglasses,
This sweet concoction is as smooth as molasses,
Nothing to do, but breath all day,
Until the big moon rises and its time to play.
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.
'Cause when the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
Everything gets hotter when the sun goes down.
When the sun goes down, we'll be groovin',
When the sun goes down, we'll be feelin' alright,
When the sun sinks down, over the water,
She thinks crackers sexy when the sun goes down.

Kenny Chesney always makes the most enjoyable summer songs. I don’t understand how he does it, but it’s amazing
@cindyseay7338
I love Kenny he always makes you feel good
@Adub199
He steals melodys from other artists lol for example he stole this beat from sugar ray
@Pappycap74
@Alex Hawkins dude you realise almost every artist borrows beats and melodys from eachother, i mean its in some of the most highly rated songs ever. With your view, once every sound has been sung over we should stop making music
@alexanderlochetto9197
You nailed that comment. The best one lol
@NancyParmenter-ph3mv
Uncle Kracker is so sexy. Kenny Chesney’s music is amazing.

I remember hearing this song on the radio all the time when I was growing up in the early 2000's. Easily one of my favorite songs, even today! Every time I hear it, I think back to my childhood.
