|
And you know the sun's setting fast |
|
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts |
|
Go on now and kiss it goodbye |
|
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die |
|
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town |
|
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town, on our town |
|
Goodnight |
|
Up the street, beside that red neon light |
|
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night |
|
He was the 'tender and I ordered the beer |
|
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here |
|
But you know the sun's setting fast |
|
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts |
|
Go on now and kiss it goodbye |
|
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die |
|
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town |
|
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town, on our town |
|
Goodnight |
|
It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss |
|
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist |
|
Over there is where I bought my first car |
|
It turned over once but then it never went far |
|
And I could see the sun's setting fast |
|
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts |
|
Go on now and kiss it goodbye |
|
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die |
|
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town |
|
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town, on our town |
|
Goodnight |
|
I buried my mama and I buried my pa |
|
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall |
|
I bring 'em flowers about every day |
|
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say |
|
If they could see how the sun's setting fast |
|
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts |
|
Go on now and kiss it goodbye |
|
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die |
|
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town |
|
Can't you see the sun's setting down on our town, on our town |
|
Goodnight |
|
Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning bugs fly |
|
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes |
|
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go |
|
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul |
|
But I can see the sun's seting fast |
|
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts |
|
Well. go on, I gotta kiss you goodbye |
|
But I'll hold on to my lover 'cause my heart's 'bout to die |
|
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town |
|
I can see the sun has gone down on my town, on my town |
|
Goodnight |
|
Goodnight |
