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

Never even entered their minds I might not want to stay
But I'm young and still got time
I got to get away

And there's one stop light blinkin' on and off
Everyone knows where their neighbors are
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 I cannot deny it
But I can't get no rest cuz it's just too quiet

And there's one stop light blinkin' on and off
Everyone knows where their neighbors are
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

(Instramental break)

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 stop light blinkin' on and off
Everyone knows where their neighbors are
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

There's one stop light blinkin' on and off
Everyone knows where their neighbors are
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'm a midnight girl in a sunset town
