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 settin' down on our town?
On our town tonight
And down the street beside the red neon light
Is where I met my baby on one hot summer night
She was a-tender and I ordered a beer
It's been forty years and I'm still sittin' here
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 settin' down on our town?
On our town tonight
It's there I had my babies and I had my first kiss
I 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
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 settin' down on our town?
On our town tonight
I buried my mama and I buried my pa
They sleep up the street besides the pretty brick wall
I bring 'em flowers about every day
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say
If they could 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 settin' down on our town?
On our town tonight
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
