[00:13.71]Well it's two miles east to west
[00:16.77]Only four miles north to south
[00:19.96]And when you pass the only red light
[00:23.40]You will see the Pastor's house
[00:25.77]People look you in the eye
[00:28.96]And they smile at you and wave
[00:32.02]Yeah they always take the time
[00:34.95]To stop and ask you"How's your day"
[00:38.09]It's hard to say goodbye
[00:44.33]'Cause baby it's a good life
[00:50.46]At the high school football game
[00:53.71]Is where I got my first kiss
[00:56.84]I still feel the butterflies
[00:59.58]I still taste it on my lips
[01:02.83]And when we lost our uncle Jake
[01:06.08]Back in 1983
[01:08.96]We heard daddy upstairs weepin'
[01:11.84]So we cried ourselves to sleep
[01:14.83]It's hard to say goodbye
[01:20.59]'Cause baby it's a good life
[01:28.40]Goodbye to memories that I saved
[01:34.28]Goodbye to all the friends I made
[01:40.21]Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
[01:50.84]Small town Jericho
[01:54.72]And every road here looks the same
[02:01.03]This ol' town won't ever change
[02:06.34]And that's what I love the most
[02:10.53]And it's the reason I must go
[02:26.59]I put boxes on the porch
[02:30.15]Daddy puts them in the car
[02:32.97]Best to get the loadin' done
[02:35.53]Won't be easy in the dark
[02:38.78]'Cause I'm leavin' after midnight
[02:41.47]And if anyone asks why
[02:44.59]I wanna wait 'til mama's sleepin'
[02:47.65]'Cause I can't bear to see her cry
[02:51.28]It's hard to say goodbye
[02:57.53]'Cause baby it's a good life
[03:03.85]Goodbye to memories that I saved
[03:09.72]Goodbye to all the friends I made
[03:15.72]Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
[03:26.53]Small town Jericho
[03:33.22]Goodbye
