i was born in a small town
mama was a farmer's wife
we knew everyone from miles around
we lived here all our lives
they never even enter their minds
i might not wanna stay
but i'm young i still got time
i got to get away
and there's one stoplight blinking on and off
and everyone knows when the neighbors call
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
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
and i cannot deny it
but i can get no rest
cause it's just too quiet
and there's one stoplight blinking on and off
everyone knows when the neighbors call
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
now i lay me down to sleep
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
and there's one stoplight blinking on and off
everyone knows when the neighbors call
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
there's one stop light blinking on and off
everyone knows when the neighbors call
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'm a midnight girl in a sunset town
