My favourite was Sundown. I think I put it on here once, probably in the what are you listening to? thread. It was written about his on-off relationship with his then girlfriend Cathy Smith. He was a very heavy drinker, and she was in to everything. She was free and wild. He nicknamed her Sundown, because sometimes when he woke up, she was gone by sundown. He admitted himself that he would get nasty if he caught her creeping in or out of the house. He was a great singer.
