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, you 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 where I come from is with me all the time



Chorus:

Oh, you can 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
