The house you lived in now is quiet and the street you walk with him is bright
Oh you should know that talk would get around bad news travels fast in our town
Not so long ago you were my bride so I guess you know that I've got pride
Oh everybody knows you've left me down just look around
Bad news travels fast in our town
Our name is still the same in city hall and the town we walk around in you know is small
And if that doesn't bother you at all
Just look around bad news travels fast in our town
Just look around bad news travels fast in our town
