0:13Well it's two miles east to west
0:16Only four miles north to south
0:19And when you pass the only red light
0:23You will see the Pastor's house
0:25People look you in the eye
0:28And they smile at you and wave
0:32Yeah they always take the time
0:34To stop and ask you "How's your day "
0:38It's hard to say goodbye
0:44'Cause baby it's a good life
0:50At the high school football game
0:53Is where I got my first kiss
0:56I still feel the butterflies
0:59I still taste it on my lips
1:02And when we lost our uncle Jake
1:06Back in 1983
1:08We heard daddy upstairs weepin'
1:11So we cried ourselves to sleep
1:14It's hard to say goodbye
1:20'Cause baby it's a good life
1:28Goodbye to memories that I saved
1:34Goodbye to all the friends I made
1:40Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
1:50Small town Jericho
1:54And every road here looks the same
2:01This ol' town won't ever change
2:06And that's what I love the most
2:10And it's the reason I must go
2:26I put boxes on the porch
2:30Daddy puts them in the car
2:32Best to get the loadin' done
2:35Won't be easy in the dark
2:38'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight
2:41And if anyone asks why
2:44I wanna wait 'til mama's sleepin'
2:47'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
2:51It's hard to say goodbye
2:57'Cause baby it's a good life
3:03Goodbye to memories that I saved
3:09Goodbye to all the friends I made
3:15Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
3:26Small town Jericho
3:33Goodbye
