Iris DeMent - Our Town Lyrics
CHORUS: And ya know the sun's setin' fastAnd just like they say, nothing good ever lastsGo on now and kiss it goodbyeBut hold on to your lover 'cause your heart's bound to dieGo on now and say goodbye to our town, to our townCan't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our townGoodnightUp the street beside that red neon lightThat's where I met my baby on one hot summer nightHe was the tender and I ordered the beerIt's been forty years and I'm still sittin' hereCHORUSIt's here I had my babies and I had my first kissI've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mistOver there is where I bought my first carIt turned over once but then it never went farCHORUSI've buried my Mama and I've buried my PaThey sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wallI bring 'em flowers about everydayBut I just gotta cry when I think what they'd sayCHORUSIf they could see how the sun's setting fast...Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightnin' bugs flyBut I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyesI'm leavin' tomorrow but I don't wanna goI love you, my town, you'll always live in my soulBut I can see the sun's seting fastAnd just like they say, nothing good ever lastsGo on, I gotta kiss you goodbyeBut I'll hold on to my lover 'cause my heart's 'bout to dieGo on now and say goodbye to my town, to my townI can see the sun has gone down on my town, on my townGoodnight, Goodnight
