Small town jericho

Small town jericho Lyrics

Well, it’s 2 miles east to west
Only 4 miles north to south
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
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

Goodbye to memories that I’ve saved
Goodbye to all the friends I’ve made
Goodbye to all the home I’ll ever know
Small town Jericho

Every road here looks the same
This old town won’t ever change
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 leaving after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I wanna wait till mamma’s sleepin’
I can’t bear to see her cry
It’s hard to say goodbye, ‘cause baby, it’s a good life

Goodbye to memories that I’ve saved
Goodbye to all the friends I’ve made
Goodbye to all the home I’ll ever know
Small town Jericho…goodbye
