Murder On Music Row



sung by George Strait With Alan Jackson
live edit




klinsii Nobody saw him running from Sixth 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 ‘n roll guitars are mixed up in your face.
Old Hank wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they committed 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 drinking and cheating songs
(I’ll 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.
Chorus: Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry
and you can’t hear fiddles play With drums
and rock ‘n roll guitars mixed right up in your face Why, the Hag,
he wouldn’t have a chance on today’s radio
Since they 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.






音乐路上的谋杀案

现场版



没有人目睹凶手从第道上悄悄潜逃
居然最后谁也没有找到一丝指纹还有凶器
可千真万确有人谋杀了我心爱的乡村音乐
剔除了那颗曾经单纯的灵魂和那美好心境
无奈我们只能眼睁睁地看着凶手逍遥法外
那万能的金钱还有对名誉地位的贪婪渴望
无声无息地吞噬着悠久的传统和真挚感情
凶手该为此付出沉重的代价（你说呢？）
等到真相大白他们就再也不能说自己无辜
无论如何，一切都将于事无补，
我的朋友因为音乐路上的惨案已经发生——
潺潺的吉他和悠扬的提琴声不再伴着夏夜
响彻夜空的却是轰隆隆的鼓点和电声吉他
今天的舞台上再也容不下老汉克威廉姆斯
因为音乐路上的惨案已经发生——
他们天真地以为从此以后就可以高枕无忧
再也没有人会想念那些关于爱和恨的老歌
没人会再听那些能够带给你泪和笑的旋律天理何在？
这样残酷的事实令人难以接受
无奈音乐路上的惨案已经发生——
潺潺的吉他和悠扬的提琴声不再伴着夏
夜响彻夜空的却是轰隆隆的鼓点和电声吉
他今天的舞台上再也容不下老梅尔黑格尔德
因为音乐路上的惨案已经发生——
凶手甚至也容不下那些幸运死里逃生的人
还强迫他们卷起铺盖回到他们出发的地方噢，
又一桩发生在音乐路上的惨案……


(Music Row 位于田纳西的纳什维尔。此地聚集了众多的唱片公司和录音室：George Strait所在的MCA, Mark Wills所在的Mercury, Dixie Chicks加盟的SONY……)
