I heard that you're leaving

This sleepy little town

The bright lights must have caught your eye 

Cuz you ain't hanging round

You know people been talking

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

You 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

And walk on by



Yeah

Walk on by - walk on by

You're a little bit lonely you're a little bit shy

Just walk on by



Yeah Walk on
