I was born in a small town, Momma was a farmers wife We knew everyone for miles around, we lived here all our lives It never even entered their minds I might not want to stay But I?m young, I still got time, I got to get away And there's one stop light blinking on and off Everyone knows when the neighbors cough They roll up the streets when the sun goes down I'm a midnight girl in a sunset town I?m a midnight girl in a sunset town I've seen places on the TV where they stay up all night long Around here it's early to bed and they rise before the dawn They say the old ways are still the best, I cannot deny it But I can't get no rest cause it's just too quiet Chorus Solo Bridge: Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep If I should die before the world turns round Lord don't leave me in this one horse town (Lord don?t leave me in this one horse town) Lord don?t leave me in this one horse town (Lord don?t leave me in this one horse town) Chorus
