Meredith Brooks Lyrics

Album: Blurring The Edges

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, 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
