Cops showed up at a little old six With the FBI and their black crown vicks Cuffed coach Martin with his face in the ground Neighbors say he got off a couple a rounds Hundred thousand dollars in an old suitcase He had a green house in his crawl space When the lights come on in a sleepy little town There ain't no secrets when the truth comes out And everybody knows cause the word gets around When the lights come on in a sleepy little town Stereotypical preachers wife Everybody loved her she was so nice Never told a soul about the things he did Till she took a bottle to the back of his head They say she simply told 911 "Now he deserved what I just done" When the lights come on in a sleepy little town There ain't no secrets when the truth comes out
And everybody knows cause the word gets around When the lights come on in a sleepy little town Woah ooh oh oh oh sleepy little town Now everyones proud of Mary Lou She had a full ride to a private school Gonna be a doctor or a lawyer someday She's 17 and three months late We all thought that she'd never been kissed but She doesn't know who the daddy is When the lights come on in a sleepy little town There ain't no secrets when the truth comes out And everybody knows cause the word gets around When the lights come on in a sleepy little town Woah ooh oh oh oh, Woah ooh oh oh oh, Woah ooh oh oh oh sleepy little town Woah ooh oh oh oh, Woah ooh oh oh oh, Woah ooh oh oh oh sleepy little town Woah ooh oh oh oh, woah ooh oh ooh, sleepy little town
