Big Country - Kiss The Girl Goodbye lyrics

They hit the bank on a dog-day afternoon With the black top popping and the radio out of tune They looked so young and wild and people sighed For desperate men need desperate pa**ers by You gotta kiss the girl good-bye Then begin Kiss the girl good-bye You know when and I know why We kiss the girl good-bye They left the strip just before the hurricane blew The governor turned his head and the customs man knew They looked so lean and wired the controller asked why Well desperate men need a desperate kind of sky One of them was a sailor Another one was a fishing man The third one was a farmer’s son And they kissed their girls good-bye Kiss the girl good-bye Then begin Kiss the girl good-bye You know when and I know why We kiss the girl good-bye Kiss the girl good-bye Then begin Kiss the girl good-bye You know when and I know why We kiss the girl good-bye They hit the street with the moon in a funny mind For a drive past shooting for a deal done just in time Well they look so young that something’s got to give Well desperate men have desperate lives to live One of them was a brother Another one was a married man The third one was a mother’s son They kissed their girls good-bye Kiss the girl good-bye Then begin Kiss the girl good-bye You know when and I know why We kiss the girl good-bye [x4]
