Nobody saw him runnin'

from sixteenth avenue

They never found a 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
The almighty dollar
and the lust for worldwide fame

Slowly killed tradition

and for that someone should hang
Ah you tell 'em Alan

Well they all say not guilty

but the evidence will show
That murder was committed

down on Music Row
For the steel guitars

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
Ole Hank wouldn't have a chance

on today's radio

Since they committed murder

down on Music Row
lnstrumentalz 12 Seconds
They thought no one

would miss it

once it was dead and gone
They said no one

would buy them old

once it was dead and gone
They said no one

would buy them old

drinkin' and cheatin' songs
Well, 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

down on Music Row
For the steel guitars

no longer cry

and you can't hear Fiddles play
With 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've committed murder

down on Music Row
Why they'd even tell the Possum

to pack up and go back home
There's been an awful murder

down on Music Row
