Murder On Music Row

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 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 (oh, you tell them Alan).

They all say not guilty, but the evidence will show

That murder was committed down on music row.



Chorus:

For the steel guitars no longer cry and fiddles barely play,

But drums and rock
