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 

Just walk on by - walk on by 
You’re a little bit lonely, you’re a little bit shy
Just walk on by 

Just walk on by - walk on by 
Don’t look over your shoulder - keep your head up high 
Just walk on by 

Just walk on by - walk on by 
You’re a little bit lonely, you’re a little bit shy
Just walk on by
