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) |
