Our Town

[Chorus]

And you know the sun's settin' 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

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]

And down the street beside the red neon light

That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night

She was 'the tender and I ordered a beer

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

[Chorus]

But you know the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

So 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 setting down on our town?

On our town, goodnight

[Verse 2]

It's there 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 and then it never went far

[Chorus]

And I can see the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

So 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 setting down on our town?

On our town, goodnight

[Verse 3]

I buried my mama and I buried my pa

They sleep up the street besides a pretty brick wall

I bring 'em flowers about every day

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

[Chorus]

If they could see the sun settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

So 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 setting down on our town?

On our town, goodnight

[Verse 4]

Now I sit on the porch and I 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 wanna go

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

[Chorus]

But I can see the sun's settin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

So go on, now, I'll kiss it goodbye

And hold to my lover 'cause my heart's bound to die

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

And I can see the sun setting down on my town

On my town, goodnight

[Outro]

Goodnight
