My Little Town — текст песни (Merideth Brooks)

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

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
Spend the other half trying to get back again

[Chorus]

Look down the road, look up the highway
Look past the fences, look at the faces
What do you have on the other side

[Chorus]
