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 now I gotta kiss you goodbye But hold on to your lover 'Cause your heart's bound to die. Go on now and say goodbye to my town to my town. I can you see the sun's settin' down on my town on my town Goodnight.             Goodnight.

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque le passage du temps et la nostalgie, illustrant des souvenirs ancrés dans une ville que l'on quitte. Elle parle de moments marquants de la vie, comme les premiers rendez-vous, les naissances, et même les pertes, tout en soulignant que rien de beau ne dure éternellement. À travers des images simples et puissantes, l'artiste incite à chérir les relations et les souvenirs, même en les laissant derrière soi. Les souvenirs d'amour et de vie quotidienne rendent cette ville spéciale, mais il est aussi temps de dire au revoir, même si cela fait mal.
