[Pre-Chorus]
And you know the sun's setting 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can see the sun's setting fast
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
But go on now and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to die
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
I've buried my mama and I've 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
[Pre-Chorus]
If they could see how the sun's setting 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning bugs fly
But I can't see too good, I've 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
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can see the sun's setting 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
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Goodnight
