I heard that you're leavin - this sleepy little town The bright lights must have caught your eye cuz you ain't hangin' round Ya know people been talkin' - they say you're makin' a mistake Gotta get on that greyhound and 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 - ya walk on
You're old enough to know why - you're old enough to know why
Now you're standing at the station - got a ticket in your hand Guess you got you're mind made up - gotta get out while you can Don't say I never told ya - now the rest is up to you Those streets can be like a battlefield - when it's hard to make it thru...
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 - walk on by You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy Just walk on by
