Up the street beside the red neon light That's where I met my baby on a hot summers night He was the tender and I ordered a beer It's been forty years and I'm still sat here. Can't you see the sun's sinking 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 now and say goodbye to our town, to our town Can't you see the sun's going down on our town, on our town Goodnight. 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. Can't you see the sun's sinking 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 now and say goodbye to our town, to our town Can't you see the sun's going down on our town, on our town Goodnight. Sat here on the poarch 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 Oh I love you my town you'll always live in my soul. I can see the sun's sinking fast And just like you've 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 going down on my town, on my town I can see the sun's sinking fast And just like you've 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. Goodnight Goodnight
