:  320033 or 320003
  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
   x2
  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
   x3
  End on
