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

to 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 were 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 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 harm when Mrs. Avery walks her dog



All I every 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

And the other half trying to get back again



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 up the highway

Look past the fences-- look at the face

What do you have on the other side?

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah-- oh



Oh, you could walk the streeets 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

Yeah Yeah, in my little town

You don't need a gun-- in my little town where I come from

Yeah Yeah, in my in my in my in my little town
