Sunset Grill

Written：Don Henley/Danny Kortchmar/Ben Tench

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 eats 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 outa 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 all 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
