[Verse 1]
Up the street beside the red neon light
That's where I met my baby on a hot summer's night
He was the tender and I ordered a beer
It's been forty years and I'm still set here
[Chorus]
Can't you see the sun's sinkin' fast?
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
Well, go on then and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's gonna die
Go on then and say goodbye to our town, to our town
Can't you see the sun's goin' down on our town, on our town?
Goodnight
[Verse 2]
It's where I met my baby and I had my first kiss
I've walked up Main Street in the cold morning mist
Over there is where I bought my first car
I turned it over once, now it won't go far
[Chorus]
Can't you see the sun's sinkin' fast?
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
Well, go on then and kiss it goodbye
But hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's gonna die
Go on then and say goodbye to our town, to our town
Can't you see the sun's goin' down on our town, on our town?
Goodnight
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I sat here on the porch, I see the lightning bugs fly
I can't see too well for the tears in my eyes
I leave tomorrow and I don't want to go
Well, I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul
[Chorus]
I can see the sun's sinkin' fast
And just like they said, nothing good ever lasts
Well, go on, I've got to kiss you goodbye
But I'll hold to my lover 'cause my heart's gonna die
Go on then and say goodbye to my town, to my town
Can't you see the sun's goin' down on my town, on my town?
I can see the sun's sinkin' fast
And just like they said, nothing good ever lasts
Well, go on, I've got to kiss you goodbye
But I'll hold to my lover 'cause my heart's just died
Go on then and say goodbye to my town, to my town
I can see the sun's gone down on my town, on my town
Goodnight
[Outro]
Goodnight
Goodnight
