Lyrics of 'Midnight Girl Sunset Town' by Sweethearts Of The Rodeo

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 wanna 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 where their neighbours 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 cause it's just too quiet
And there's one stop-light...
[ guitar ]
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)
Well there's one stop-light...
There's one stop-light...
