I was born in a small town
Mama was a farmer's wife
We knew everyone
for miles around
We lived here all our lives
It never even
entered their minds
I might not wanna stay
But I'm young I still got time
I've got to get away
And there's one stop light
blinkin' 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 pIaces 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
And there's one stop light
blinkin' 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
Now I lay me down to sleep
And 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
And there's one stop light
blinkin' on and off
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
There's one stop light
blinkin' on and off
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
I'm a midnight girl
in a sunset town
