My Little Town

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
