Meredith Brooks - My Little Town lyrics

rate me

Written by Brooks, Lynch, Corey 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
