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
AW 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
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
COMMITTED MURDER
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
4 BAR
BREAK
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 I STILL BUY 'EM
WELL THERE AIN'T
NO JUSTICE IN IT
AND THE HARD FACTS
ARE COLD
A 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 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 EVEN
TELL THE POSSUM
TO PACK UP
AND GO BACK HOME
THERE'S BEEN
AN AWFUL MURDER
DOWN ON MUSIC ROW
