Small Town Jericho |
Well, it’s two miles East to West |
Only four miles North to South |
And when you pass the only red light |
You will see the pastor’s house |
People look you in the eye |
And they smile at you and wave |
Yeah, they always take the time |
To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?' |
It’s hard to say goodbye |
'Cause baby, it’s a good life |
2nd Verse |
At the high school football game |
Is where I got my first kiss |
I still feel the butterflies |
I still taste it on my lips |
And when we lost our Uncle Jake |
Back in 1983 |
We heard Daddy upstairs weepin' |
So we cried ourselves to sleep |
It’s hard to say goodbye |
'Cause baby, it’s a good life |
Chorus |
Goodbye to mem’ries that I saved |
Goodbye to all the friends I made |
Goodbye to all the home I’ll ever know |
Small town Jericho…(goodbye) |
Bridge |
And every road here looks the same |
This ol' town won’t ever change |
And that’s what I love the most |
And it’s the reason I must go |
3rd Verse |
I put boxes on the porch |
Daddy puts them in the car |
Best to get the loadin' done |
Won’t be easy in the dark |
'Cause I’m leavin' after midnight |
And if anyone asks why |
I wanna wait 'til Mama’s sleepin' |
'Cause I can’t bear to see her cry |
It’s hard to say goodbye |
'Cause baby, it’s a good life |
(Repeat Chorus) |
