My Little Town Lyrics

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
