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
[2nd Verse]
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 mem´ries that I saved Goodbye to all the friends I made Goodbye to all the home I´ll ever know Small town Jericho...(goodbye)
[Bridge]
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
[3rd Verse]
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
