"Sundown" is a song by Canadian folk artist Gordon Lightfoot, from the titular album, released as a single in March 1974.

"Sundown" reached number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts, number 13 on the Hot Country Singles chart, and number one in Canada on RPM's national singles chart. It was Lightfoot's only single to reach number one on the Hot 100.

The lyrics describe a troubled romantic relationship (often cited as Cathy Smith), with the narrator recounting an affair with a "hard-loving woman [who's] got me feeling mean".

I think my girlfriend was out with her friends one night at a bar while I was at home writing songs. I thought, 'I wonder what she’s doing with her friends at that bar!' It's that kind of a feeling. 'Where is my true love tonight? What is my true love doing?

This is my cover of this classic. RIP Gordon. Your fans, among others, miss you.

Joyce: @tlsteel52 A natural for you, Thom.. I recall hearing the history of this great song. Cathy Smith was supposedly responsible for John Belushi's death too.

Keith Wallin: @tlsteel1952 I heard the same thing about Cathy Smith overdosing John Belushi on heroin. She went to prison for it. Great take on this classic, Tom. I have been a huge fan of GL my whole life. Enjoyed this one a lot....:-)
