The cops showed up at eleven o'six
With the FBI in their black Crown Vics
They cuffed Coach Martin with his face in the ground
Neighbors say he got off a couple of rounds
Hundred-thousand dollars in an old suitcase
He had a greenhouse 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 preacher's wife
Everybody loved her, she was so nice
Never told a soul 'bout the things he did
'Til she took a bottle to the back of his head
They say she simply told 9-1-1
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, oh, oh, oh [x3]
Sleepy little town
Now everybody's proud of Mary Lou
She got a full ride to a private school
Gonna be a doctor or a lawyer someday
She's seventeen 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, oh, oh, oh [x3]
Sleepy little town
Woah, oh, oh, oh [x3]
Sleepy little town
Woah, oh, oh, oh [x3]
Sleepy little town
Woah, oh, oh, oh [x3]
Sleepy little town
