I heard that you're leavin', this sleepy little town Bright lights must have caught your eye 'Cause you ain't hangin' 'round And people been talkin', say you're makin' a mistake Gotta get on my greyhound, forget about what they say Just walk on by, walk on by Don't look over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by I've heard bad things about the city And I'm told that they're true Better watch out for those guys out there They're gonna hit on you So don't talk to no strangers No it ain't your style Don't give up when the chips are down Just turn around and smile Just walk on by, walk on by Don't look over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by, yeah, walk on You're old enough to know why You're old enough to know why You're standing at the station Got a ticket in your hand Guess you got you're mind made up You gotta get out while you can Don't say I never told you Now the rest is up to you Those streets can be a battlefield When it's hard to make it through Just walk on by, walk on by Don't look over your shoulder Keep your head up high Just walk on by, walk on by You're a little bit lonely You're a little bit shy Just walk on by, just walk on
