[Verse 1]
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?'

[Chorus 1]
It's hard to say goodbye
Because baby, it's a good life

[Verse 2]
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 weeping
So we cried ourselves to sleep

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
Goodbye to memories that I saved
Goodbye to all the friends I made
Goodbye to all the home I'll ever know
Small town Jericho (Goodbye)

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
I put boxes on the porch
Daddy puts them in the car
Best to get the loading done
Won't be easy in the dark
Because I'm leaving after midnight
And if anyone asks why
I want to wait until Mama's sleeping
Because I can't bear to see her cry

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]
