Our Town

[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
