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 home town'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
Oooh, 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 tryin' to make a change
And the other half trying to get back again
Oooh, 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 passed the fences, look at the faces
What do you have on the other side?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooh
Yeah, yeah
Oooh, 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, in 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 dog
In my little town, where I come from
Yeah, yeah
In my, in my, in my, in my
In my little town
