Kiss The Girl Goodbye - Big Country

They hit the bank on a dog-day afternoon

With the black top popping and the radio out of tune

They looked so young and wild and people sighed

For desperate men need desperate passers by

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

They left the strip just before the hurricane blew

The governor turned his head and the customs man knew

They looked so lean and wired the controller asked why

Well desperate men need a desperate kind of sky

One of them was a sailor

Another one was a fishing man

The third one was a farmer’s son

And they kissed their girls good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

They hit the street with the moon in a funny mind

For a drive past shooting for a deal done just in time

Well they look so young that something’s got to give

Well desperate men have desperate lives to live

One of them was a brother

Another one was a married man

The third one was a mother’s son

They kissed their girls good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye

You gotta kiss the girl good-bye

Then begin

Kiss the girl good-bye

You know when and I know why

We kiss the girl good-bye
