1
(Larry Shell/Larry Cordle)
2
Nobody saw them running
3
From 16th Avenue
4
They never found the fingerprints
5
Or the weapon that was used
6
But someone killed country music
7
Cut out its heart and soul
8
They got away with murder
9
Down on music row
10
The almight dollar
11
And the lust for worldwide fame
12
Slowly killed tradition
13
And for that, someone shouldhang ("Ahh, you tell 'em Alan")
14
They all say "Not Guilty!"
15
But the evidence will show
16
That murder was committed
17
Down on music row
18
For the steel guitars no longer cry
19
And the fiddles barely play
20
But drums and rock '' roll guitars
21
Are mixed up in your face
22
Ol' Hank wouldn't have a chance
23
On today's radio
24
Since they committed murder
25
Down on music row
26
They thought no one would miss it
27
Once it was dead and gone
28
They said no one would buy them ol'
29
Drinkin' and cheatin' songs ("Oh, but I still buy 'em")
30
Well there ain't no justice in it
31
And the hard facts are cold
32
Murder's been committed
33
Down on music row
34
For the steel guitars no longer cry
35
And you can't hear fiddles play
36
With drums and rock '' roll guitars
37
Mixed right up in your face
38
Why the Hag wouldn't have a chance
39
On today's radio
40
Since they committed murder
41
Down on music row
42
Why they even tell the Possum
43
To pack up and go back home
44
There's been an awful murder
45
Down on music row
