Murder On Music Row Lyrics
The song Murder On Music Row is performed by George Strait in the album named For the Last Time: Live from the Astrodome in the year 2003 .
Send Murder On Music Row Ringtone to your Cell
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 almighty dollar
And the lust for worldwide fame
Slowly killed tradition
And for that, someone should hang
(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' drinking and cheating 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
