Murder On Music Row lyrics by George Strait & Alan Jackson
MURDER ON MUSIC ROWNOBODY SAW HIM RUNNING FROM SIXTEENTH 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
FOR THEY ALL SAY NOT GUILTY
BUT THE EVIDENCE WILL SHOW
THAT MURDER WAS COMMITED
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
FOR THE STEEL GUITARS NO LONGER CRY
AND FIDDLES BARELY PLAY
BUT DRUMS AND ROCK AND ROLL GUITARS
ARE MIXED UP IN YOUR FACE
OL' HANK WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE ON TODAY'S RADIO
SINCE THEY COMMITED 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
DRINKIN' AND CHEATIN' SONGS
WELL THERE AIN'T NO JUSTICE IN IT
AND THE HARD FACTS ARE COLD
MURDER'S BEEN COMMITED
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
FOR THE STEEL GUITARS NO LONGER CRY
AND YOU CAN'T HEAR FIDDLES PLAY
BUT DRUMS AND ROCK AND ROLL GUITARS
MIXED RIGHT UP IN YOUR FACE
WHY "THE HAG" HE WOULDN'T HAVE A CHANCE ON TODAY'S RADIO
SINCE THEY COMMITED MURDER
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
WHY THEY EVEN TELL THE "POSSUM" TO PACK UP AND GO BACK HOME
SINCE THEY COMMITED MURDER
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
