Well, its 2 miles east to west
Only 4 miles north to south
When you pass the only red light
You will see the pastors 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, Hows your day?
Its hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its 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
Its hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its a good life
Goodbye to memories that Ive saved
Goodbye to all the friends Ive made
Goodbye to all the home Ill ever know
Small town Jericho
Every road here looks the same
This old town wont ever change
Thats what I love the most
And its the reason I must go
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loadin done
Wont be easy in the dark
Cause Im leaving after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I wanna wait till mammas sleepin
I cant bear to see her cry
Its hard to say goodbye, cause baby, its a good life
Goodbye to memories that Ive saved
Goodbye to all the friends Ive made
Goodbye to all the home Ill ever know
Small town Jerichogoodbye
