ADAEAD
And you know the sun's settin' fast,
AE
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
AD
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
ADAE
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
ADAE
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
ADAEA
Goodnight.
AD
Up the street beside that red neon light,
AE
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night.
AD
He was the tender and I ordered a beer,
AE
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here.
AD
But you know the sun's settin' fast,
AE
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
AD
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
ADAE
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
ADAE
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
ADAEA
Goodnight.
AD
It's here I had my babies and I had my first kiss.
AD
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist.
AD
Over there is where I bought my first car.
AE
It turned over once but then it never went far.
AD
And I can see the sun's settin' fast,
AE
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
AD
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
ADAE
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
ADAE
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
ADAEA
Goodnight.
AD
I buried my Mama and I buried my Pa.
AE
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall.
AD
I bring them flowers about every day,
DE
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say.
AD
If they could see how the sun's settin' fast,
AE
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
AD
Well, go on now and kiss it goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
ADAE
Go on now and say goodbye to our town, to our town.
ADAE
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
ADAEA
Goodnight.
AD
Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning-bugs fly.
DE
But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes.
AD
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go.
DE
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul.
AD
But I can see the sun's settin' fast,
AE
And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
AD
Well, go on now I gotta kiss you goodbye,
A
But hold on to your lover,
E
'Cause your heart's bound to die.
ADAE
Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town.
ADAE
I can you see the sun's settin' down on my town, on my town,
ADAEA
Goodnight.
ADAEA
Goodnight.
