Midnight Girl / Sunset Town

(Don Schlitz) 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 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 'Cause 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. --- Instrumental --- 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 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...
