[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
