Intro

- - - (or )

(1st Verse)

 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 kno----ow

(NO CHORD) G

Small town Jericho

(Bridge)

 And every road here looks the same

 This ol' town won't ever change

 And that's what I love the most

C C/B Am D G<---walk down

And it's the rea-son I must go

 ( - - - = 2x's)

(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

(Chorus)

 Goodbye to mem'ries that I saved

 Goodbye to all the friends I made

 Goodbye to all the home I'll ever kno----ow

 Small town Jericho

 Goodbye
