We lock the doors at night, all the sirens scream
|
I don't drive my car, insurance is too high
|
I live here in the city, my hometown's far away
|
I work out with concrete, I don't drive my car
|
The stars come out at night, you see them on the strip
|
Everybody arms themselves, there's no other place like this
|
I'll never leave the small town girl behind
|
The place where I come from is with me all the time
|
|
Chorus:
|
Oh, you can walk the streets
|
When the sun goes down in my little town
|
You don't need defenses
|
When the sun goes down in my little town
|
|
Back home on the street, after ten at night
|
Mrs. Avery walks her dog, checks to see what's going on
|
She doesn't lock the door, she lives here in good health
|
You don't hear the horn when Mrs. Avery walks her dog
|
|
All I ever wanted was a view of city lights
|
Break away from here, leave behind the quiet nights
|
Spend half your life, trying to make a change
|
Spend the other half trying to get back again
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Look down the road, look up the highway
|
Look past the fences, look at the faces
|
What do you have on the other side
|
|
Chorus
