And you know the sun's settin' fast,
just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
hold on to your lover, your heart's bound to die.
Can't you see the sun settin' down on our town, on our town,
tonight.
Up the street beside the red neon light,
Is where I met my baby on one hot summer night.
She was the tender and I ordered a beer,
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here.
Don't you know the sun's settin' fast,
just like they say, nothing good ever lasts.
hold on to your lover, heart's bound to die.
Can't you see the sun's settin' down on our town, on our town,
tonight.
It's here I had my children and I had my first kiss,
strolled down Main Street in the cold morning mist.
Over there is where I bought my first car,
turned over once but it didn't go far.
I can see the sun settin' fast,
just like they say, nothing good ever lasts,
go on now and kiss it goodbye,
hold on to your lover, your heart's bound to die.
Can't you see the sun settin' down on our town, on our town,
tonight.
I buried my Mother and I buried my Pa.
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall.
I bring them flowers about every day,
I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say.
If they could see the sun settin' fast,
just like they say, nothing good ever lasts,
go on now and kiss it goodbye,
hold on to your lover, your heart's bound to die.
Can't you see the sun settin' down on our town, on our town,
tonight.
Now I sit on the porch and watch the mosquitos fly.
Can't see too well, I got tears in my eyes.
Leaving tomorrow but I don't wanna go.
I love you, my town, you'll always live in my soul.
I can see the sun settin' fast,
just like they said, nothing good ever lasts,
go on I gotta kiss you goodbye,
But hold on to your lover, your heart's bound to die.
Can't you see the sun settin' down on my town, on my town,
tonight.
Can't you see the sun settin' down on our town, on our town,
tonight.
