For five long years they kept here in there
He went down to picu her up at the gate
He asked her what she wanted
Did she want a motel or shot or a home-cooked meal or a show
She said it sounds strange but the one thing she missed
It wasn't being drunk; it wasn't being kissed
The thing she missed most and the place she wants to go is a place she can go just to be
In the sunlight
The Devil can't hide in the sunlight
I love the way you shine in the sunlight
The way that it reflects in those green, geen eyes in the sunlight
We're going for a ride in the sunlight
Your eyes can't cry in the sunlight
The kind that makes you sure you know the night time's never going to come
She's dancing in the sun like no one can see
The hot sun burning her cute little feet
Now she's lighting up a True and she's belting out Cold Cold Heart and A Country Girl Can Survive
She's looking kind of funny and folks start to laugh
But a couple at a time they got up and danced
And soon the whole place was dancing
Singing thank my God I'm alive and I'm here in the sunlight
It was the same sun shining on Adam and Eve
And when they're all gone it'll still be here
And it burns your skin and it blinds your eyes
And it shines like an eye made of fire in the sky
It's seen empires fall
It's seen empires rise
It's seen young girls laugh
It's seen old me cry
And it shines on the rich men and poor men alike
When you're down in the dark you will long just to be in the sunlight
The Devil can't hide in the sunlight
I love the way you shine in the sunlight
The way that it reflects in those green, geen eyes in the sunlight
We're going for a ride in the sunlight
Your eyes can't cry in the sunlight
The kind that makes you sure you know the night time's never going to come
In the sunlight
The Devil can't hide in the sunlight
I love the way you shine in the sunlight
The way that it reflects in those green, geen eyes in the sunlight
We're going for a ride in the sunlight
Your eyes can't cry in the sunlight
The kind that makes you sure you know the night time's never going to come
