Lyrics JT Hodges – Sleepy Little Town
Text:
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
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
Woah oh oh oh
Woah 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 911
«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
Woah oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
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 17 and three months late
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
