JT Hodges - Sleepy Little Town Lyrics

Reminds me of Steve Earle. Great song!!!

I remember when this first came out. I don't remember how old I was. I remembering singing this song and not knowing what it meant and being confused with what it meant but now it's funny how I get everything he's singing about

underrated song

This song is true. I live in a small town and if a secret comes out everyone knows

Any word on new music from our boy?

Seaglass not sure

Thank you for coming to Libby,Montana& meeting you& sign your name, Love your music , be listening to you every day,

i like the music

First of all I am NOT gay; nothing against anyone. With that said, I do thoroughly enjoy J.T. Hodges music! Wish he would get a break and be able to do more. Love the Movie "Finding Christmas" and Yes, I too am from a relatively small town in East Texas! Born and raised and damn Proud of It! J.T. Rocks!

What was the gay comment in regards to? Have I missed something?

3 years later and still waiting on a music video. Please? <3

Destiny Graves 2018 and waiting

Très belle découverte... j'adore votre musique ... amitiés de France...

I came from a small town in Texas this is a perfect discription of it when something stirs the pot

@Brandon Goins LMFAO ME TOO!!! Columbus, Texas to be exact... about an hour outside of Houston. This song should be our towns theme song!

OMG Brandon is your brother Christion

i come from a small texas town and yes this is so right

@Kenna Valadez me to such a perfect discription of it .... do you perhaps come from Vernon , Texas

I have to google the lyrics every time I want to listen to the song because I can never remember the lyrics. Awesome story.

+Jack Smith
1:
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 green house in his crawl space.

Chorus:
When the lights come on in a sleepy little town
There ain't no secrets when the truth comes out
And everybody knows 'cuz 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

2:
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 911... he deserved what I just done.

(Repeat Chorus)
Sleepy little town

3:
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

(Repeat Chorus)
Sleepy little town

Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Sleepy little town
x3

Mary Lou did it a lot.

I live in a very small town can relate to this song

For those of you who are saying the guy in the song was printing money and what not, it says "he had a greenhouse..." Aka he was growing marijuana lol. Not making counterfeit bills.. Just a random little rant

Why you never date two girls in a town of less than 500 ....whoopsie for me XD...

reminds me of springville NY

Kinda reminds me how we lost states haha

I was not expecting "we all thought that she'd never been kissed, but she doesn't know who the daddy is." hahaha scandalous.

Great song.

This song is touching. Really good!

Actult came out in my 2011! thas crazy!

has anyone know of a small town Called Nocona Texas?? will if you have....I wanna know...Doesn't this song remind you of that town?? cause it reminds be of it..

This is heartbreaking, really. I'm very moved.

money was definitely from drug deals he had a greenhouse in his backyard

If it is gang affiliated the FBI does involve itself.
