Our Town

And you know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

Well, 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 settin' 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 a beer

It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here

But you know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

Well, 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 settin' down on our town, on our town

Goodnight

It's here I had my baby's 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 can see the sun settin' fast

And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

Well, 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 settin' 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 them flowers about every day

But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say

If they could see how the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

Well, 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 settin' 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 want to go

I love you my town, you'll always live in my soul

But I can see the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

Well, go on I gotta kiss you goodbye but I'll hold to my lover

'Cause my heart's 'bout to die

Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town

Can't you see the sun's settin' down on my town, on my town

Goodnight, goodnight
