Iris DeMent - Our Town lyrics

And you know the sun's setting 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 Up the street, beside that red neon light That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night He was the 'tender and I ordered the beer It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here But you know the sun's setting 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 It's here 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 but then it never went far And I could see the sun's setting 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 I buried my mama and I buried my pa They sleep up the street beside that 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 how the sun's setting 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 Now I sit on the porch and 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 But I can see the sun's seting fast And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts Well. go on, I gotta kiss you goodbye But I'll hold on to my lover 'cause my heart's 'bout to die Go on now and say goodbye to my town, to my town I can see the sun has gone down on my town, on my town Goodnight Goodnight
