Sugarland - Small Town Jericho Lyrics
Well, its 2 miles east to westOnly 4 miles north to southWhen you pass the only red lightYou will see the pastors housePeople look you in the eyeAnd they smile at you and waveYeah, they always take the timeTo stop and ask you, Hows your day?Its hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its a good lifeAt the high school football gameIs where I got my first kissI still feel the butterfliesI still taste it on my lipsWhen we lost our Uncle JakeBack in 1983We heard Daddy upstairs weepinSo we cried ourselves to sleepIts hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its a good lifeGoodbye to memories that Ive savedGoodbye to all the friends Ive madeGoodbye to all the home Ill ever knowSmall town JerichoEvery road here looks the sameThis old town wont ever changeThats what I love the mostAnd its the reason I must goI put boxes on the porchDaddy puts them in the carBest to get the loadin doneWont be easy in the darkCause Im leaving after midnightAnd if anyone asks whyI wanna wait till mammas sleepinI cant bear to see her cryIts hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its a good lifeGoodbye to memories that Ive savedGoodbye to all the friends Ive madeGoodbye to all the home Ill ever knowSmall town Jerichogoodbye
