The cops showed up
at a eleven o'six
With the FBI
and their black Crown vics
They cuffed coach Martin
with his face in the ground
Neighbours say he got off
a couple of 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
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
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 91 1
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
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Sleepy little town
Now everyone'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
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Sleepy little town
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Sleepy little town
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Sleepy little town
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Sleepy little town
