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 workout 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 this

Small town girl behind

The place where I come from

Is with me all the time



Oh, you could 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 10 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

Then the other half

Trying to get back again



Oh, you could 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



Look down the road

Look at the highway

Look past the fences

Look at the faces

What do you have on the other side?



Oh, you could walk the streets

When the sun goes down

In my little town

You don't need defenses

When the sun goes down

In my my town

You could walk the streets

When the sun goes down

In my little town

You don't need defenses

In my little town where I come from

In my little town you don't need a gun

In my little town where I come from

In my little town
