Murder On Music Row |
| Nobody saw them running |
| From 16th Avenue |
| They never found the fingerprints |
| Or the weapon that was used |
| But someone killed country music |
| Cut out its heart and soul |
| They got away with murder |
| Down on music row |
| The almight dollar |
| And the lust for worldwide fame |
| Slowly killed tradition |
| And for that, someone shouldhang (Ahh, you tell 'em Alan) |
| They all say Not Guilty! |
| But the evidence will show |
| That murder was committed |
| Down on music row |
| For the steel guitars no longer cry |
| And the fiddles barely play |
| But drums and rock 'n'roll guitars |
| Are mixed up in your face |
| Ol’Hank wouldn’t have a chance |
| On today’s radio |
| Since they committed murder |
| Down on music row |
| They thought no one would miss it Once it was dead and gone |
| They said no one would buy them ol' |
| Drinkin’and cheatin’songs (Oh, but I still buy 'em) |
| Well there ain’t no justice in it And the hard facts are cold |
| Murder’s been committed |
| Down on music row |
| For the steel guitars no longer cry |
| And you can’t hear fiddles play |
| With drums and rock 'n'roll guitars |
| Mixed right up in your face |
| Why the Hag wouldn’t have a chance |
| On today’s radio |
| Since they committed murder |
| Down on music row |
| Why they even tell the Possum |
| To pack up and go back home |
| There’s been an awful murder |
| Down on music row |
