Murder on Music Row - Pure Country Heroes-歌词

Murder on Music Row - Pure Country Heroes

Nobody saw him running

From sixteenth avenue

They never found the fingerprint

Or the weapon that was used

But someone killed country music

Cut out it's heart and soul

They got away with murder

Down on music row

The almighty dollar and

The lust for worldwide fame

Slowly killed tradition and

For that someone should hang

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 fiddles barely play

But drums and rock 'n' roll

Guitars are mixed up in your face

Old 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

Old drinking and cheating songs

Well there ain't no justice in

It and the hard facts are cold

Murder's been committed

Down on music row

Oh 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 he 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
