| And you know the sun’s settin' 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
|
| Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
|
| Can’t you see the sun’s settin' down on our town, on our town
|
| Goodnight
|
| 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 a beer
|
| It’s been forty years and I’m still sitting here
|
| But you know the sun’s settin' 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
|
| Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
|
| Can’t you see the sun’s settin' down on our town, on our town
|
| Goodnight
|
| 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
|
| And I can see the sun’s settin' 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
|
| Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
|
| Can’t you see the sun’s settin' down on our town, on our town
|
| Goodnight
|
| I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa
|
| They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall
|
| I bring them flowers about every day
|
| But I just gotta cry when I think what they’d say
|
| If they could see how the sun’s settin' 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
|
| Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town
|
| Can’t you see the sun’s settin' down on our town, on our town
|
| Goodnight
|
| Now I sit on the porch and 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
|
| But I can see the sun’s settin' 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
|
| 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
|
| Goodnight |
