Our Town
Written and recorded by Iris DeMent

G C
And you know the sun's settin' fast
G D7
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts
G C
Well go on now and kiss it goodbye
G
But hold on to your lover
D7
Cause your heart's bound to die
G C G D7
Go on now and say goodbye to our town to our town
G C
Can't you see the sun's settin' down
G D7 G
On our town on our town goodnight

C
Up the street beside that red neon light
G D7
That's where I met my baby on one hot summer night
G C
He was the tender and I ordered a beer
G D7
It's been forty years and I'm still sitting here

Repeat #1 But you know…

C
It's here I had my baby's and I had my first kiss
G D7
I've walked down Main Street in the cold morning mist
G C
Over there is where I bought my first car
G D7
It turned over once but then it never went far

Repeat #1 And I can see…

C
I buried my momma and I buried my pa
G D7
They sleep up the street beside that pretty brick wall
G C
I bring them flowers about every day
G D7
But I just gotta cry when I think what they'd say
G C
If they could see how the sun's settin' fast
G D7
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

G C
Well go on now and kiss it goodbye
G
But hold on to your lover
D7
Cause your heart's bound to die
G C G D7
Go on now and say goodbye to our town to our town
G C
Can't you see the sun's settin' down
G D7 G D7
On our town on our town goodnight

G C
Now I sit on the porch and watch the lightning-bugs fly
G D7
But I can't see too good I got tears in my eyes
G C
I'm leaving tomorrow but I don't want to go
G D7
I love you my town you'll always live in my soul
G C
But I can see the sun's settin' fast
G D7
And just like they say nothing good ever lasts

G C
Well go on now and kiss it goodbye
G
But hold on to your lover
D7
Cause your heart's bound to die
G C G D7
Go on now and say goodbye to our town to our town
G C
I can see the sun's gone down
G D7 G D7
On our town on our town goodnight
G
Goodnight
