Our Town

[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
