Hoyt wrote the lyrics for Every Sunset. His inspiration came from seeing a young man sitting on a park bench with his head hung low....it looked to Hoyt as if the man was going through some tough times.
Lyrics
EVERY SUNSET-words Hoyt Smith, music Greg Quick true love from up above i was an eagle and she was a dove we were actors on the set she could give as good as she’d get i gave what i had but it wasn't enough the sky had faded and the world got rough shaved my beard and cut my hair realized i wasn't goin' nowhere i had reasons to fuss and fret till I passed by a homeless vet well you know there’s always work to be done I slave like a dog work under the gun…yeah every sunset carries a little regret you save a little money but you’re never quite set you could say that…it’s as good as it gets… how every sunset carries a little regret every sunset carries a little regret you save a little money but you’re never quite set, well you could say that...it’s as good as it gets… but every sunset carries a little regret long legs beer kegs now riches to rags no more steak and eggs she begs, groans, giggles and gags just ragged ‘ol hags and bitter dregs, well a dollar here and a dollar there some say that life, how it just ain’t fair, no i stopped at dusk to lighten my load he said "how ya doin? my name's tom joad” his hound dog reminds you of a long-lost pet with a little ray of hope but you soon forget, well i headed home but he stayed there he stole my jacket for the cold night air, yeah! every sunset carries a little regret you save a little money, but you’re never quite set you could say that…It’s as good as it gets… but every sunset carries a little regret, every sunset carries a little regret.
