Dement Iris Our Town Lyrics

Our Town Lyrics

CHORUS: And ya know the sun's setin' fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

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 the beer

It's been forty years and I'm still sittin' here



CHORUS



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



CHORUS



I've buried my Mama and I've buried my Pa

They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall

I bring 'em flowers about everyday

But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say



CHORUS

If they could see how the sun's setting fast...



Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightnin' bugs fly

But I can't see too good, I got tears in my eyes

I'm leavin' 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 seting fast

And just like they say, nothing good ever lasts

Go on, I gotta kiss you goodbye

But I'll hold on 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
