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.
