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 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 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, my, my, my, my little town
