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
