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
