Well it's 2 miles
east to west
Only 4 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
Hmw's ymur 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 butteflies
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
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
And every road here
looks the same
This old town
won't ever change
And that's what
I love the most
And it's the reason
I must go-o-o-o-o oh oh
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loadin' done
It won't be easy in the dark
'Cause I'm leaving
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
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 oh oh
Goodbye
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
