I don't walk down by the river
Or those pretty back roads where no one else goes
I don't cut through the park after it's dark
How quickly these little towns grow
Will you go walking with me tonight
I used to think i was fine if i stayed with the streetlights
But i've seen how much help a streetlight can be
Would you go walking with me
I know i should not talk to strangers
Or be out late at night all alone
I shouldn't sing songs that might lead you on
Maybe i shouldn't leave home
If i wish on a star tonight
I will wish through the walls where those stars might be
Cause my little town one night let me down
And i found a big city street.
