| And you know the sun’s settin' fast
 | 
| And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
 | 
| Well, 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 settin' 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 a beer
 | 
| It’s been forty years and I’m still sitting here
 | 
| But you know the sun’s settin' fast
 | 
| And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
 | 
| Well, 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 settin' 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 can see the sun’s settin' fast
 | 
| And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
 | 
| Well, 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 settin' 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 them flowers about every day
 | 
| But I just gotta cry when I think what they’d say
 | 
| If they could see how the sun’s settin' fast
 | 
| And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
 | 
| Well, 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 settin' 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 settin' fast
 | 
| And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts
 | 
| Well, go on, I gotta kiss you goodbye
 | 
| But I’ll hold 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 |
