small town jericho
Well, it's two miles East to West  Only four miles North to South  And when you pass the only red light  You will see the pastor's house  People look you in the eye  And they smile at you and wave  Yeah, they always take the time  To stop and ask you, 'How's your day?'  It's hard to say goodbye  'Cause baby, it's a good life   At the high school football game  Is where I got my first kiss  I still feel the butterflies  I still taste it on my lips  And when we lost our Uncle Jake  Back in 1983  We heard Daddy upstairs weepin'  So we cried ourselves to sleep  It's hard to say goodbye  'Cause baby, it's a good life   [Chorus] Goodbye to memories that I saved  Goodbye to all the friends I made  Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know  Small town Jericho, (goodbye)   And every road here looks the same  This ol' town won't ever change  And that's what I love the most  And it's the reason I must go   I put boxes on the porch  Daddy puts them in the car  Best to get the loadin' done  Won't be easy in the dark  'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight  And if anyone asks why  I wanna wait 'til Mama's sleepin'  'Cause I can't bear to see her cry  It's hard to say goodbye  'Cause baby, it's a good life   [Chorus]
