George Strait - Murder On Music Row Lyrics
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.
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 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.

George Strait Murder On Music Row Comments
sad how much autotune they used on this whole concert and live album they put out
Cashbox & shekels
Love this song! and who is singing this song is the best guys George Strait and Alan Jackson!
Good Tune!
Wow that's real country music. Thanks fellows Alan and George
Someone did--This is Country music
Me and my papa always listened to this when we go on a road trip or just for a drive,❤❤ country music
Have seen both these guys live their the only 2 real country left
Now this is real country music. Anyone here in 2019
Alex Ashmead yes sir this is country not that pop country stuff
This is what country used to sound like. It is still decent today, just doesn’t it sound like this, which sounds much more traditional.
Classic
Autotune on this is obvious and should be taken off in future airings. They can edit out crowd noise, they can edit out Autotune. Heard George live and he sounds way better live, Alan too and I have never seen him live.
Country will never be the same once these old cowboys are gone. Such a sad world.
One of my favor.sometimes Alan looks funny,hahaha!!!i like it.
Karalho achei agora no YouTube...
O melhor vídeo.... Do YouTube...
Sucesso 🍻🍻🍻🍻 e bora toma uma!!!!
george strait and alan jackson are the main country music of 2020
Please don't tell my wife I'm watching this! She thinks I only like heavy metal and rap music!
that's not only a great song it's a great and true statement. this is why i stopped listening to country stations.
George is the coolest sob on earth!
George and Merle where my parents Kings’s of country, they are the kings of my generation!
ILOVE THIS SONG . ILOST MY BEST FREIND . WE WENT TO A CLUB THAT SONG WAS PLAYING .EVERTIME I HEAR THAT SONG BRING ME TEARS . SHE PASS AWAY AT 44 YEARS OLD OFF A HEARTH ATTACK.
i wonder if hank sr is looking down from above and saying nashville!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you kidding me johnny gill from alabama
Two of the best
Wow! Listen to the sheer perfection in their voices u would think they totally digitized em but thats impossible!
Now if Garth was in this it would be complete
So true(song lyrics)
I miss real country music.
i think country music sounds better live
also im a metalhead
iFunny brought me here.
Why can’t they play their guitars?
Nick Hawthorne There probably just trying to focus on singing. And let’s be honest their not as young as the used to be so it’s probably hard to try and do both.
Soooo true.. Love these guy's
If Country music had an Eminem style dis track... This would be it. Cuz these two just ended up eliminating and burning the entire modern country music scene.
That's an interesting autotune sound they have goin. This is shit.
Real country fans love this song. George rocked it at the Buckeye Country Music Festival. Overused auto tune in this concert though. Almost ruined it.
I heard this music when I was 6 years old until now that I'm 23 yrs old . Miss my papa 😇 who influenced me n country music
one of the best
AWESOME
Great singers and a great band.
I used to hate country music, Now you can catch me singing Troubadour in my best George Strait voice.💯
but some one kill country music
Nydelig musikk :-)
Now that is country music great song by two great man love both of them
Knowing for their age they both still have amazing voices
Logan Daniels but they use auto tune
Um...no
Logan Daniels they definitely are, there’s a version on YouTube that has their natural vocals...
This is edited in after the fact. No way this is how they sounded live. George sounds better than this now.
Yeah, and poor decision to use Autotune because they can sing better than any computer voice.
1 yankee watched this video
Twas truly amazing! Cant help but to really appreciate how good you two are. Country songs are still the best... and unfortunately, this song explains its death. It's almost dead. Gotta revive it people
First heard this when I was still a kid and i am happy to get across through this again 💓
Stephanie Pilapil
Stellar song! Add this to George Jones’ “Who’s Going To Fill Their Shoes!
They are the best of country .
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
+++++++++++
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 '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
Well there ain't no justice in it
and the hard facts are cold
and Murder was committed
down on music row.
++++++++++
Oh, the steel guitars no longer cry
and you can't hear fiddles play
With drums and rock 'n roll guitars
are 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.....
Whatever popTART MFer gave this a thumbs down, no doubt T drove the nail in the coffin Swift, Maren “Country Music is Bullshit” just let me make a career exploiting it Morris, Blake Old Fart & Jackass Shelton, or Florida Georgia idiots needs taken out behind the barn & whooped to say the least
Beautiful!
THE BEST TRUE SONG I EVER HEARD!! THEY DONE A GREAT JOB !!!!!!
This is country. The new guys play a cross between southern rock and...some kind of dance. Not sure what it is to be honest.
Two kings of country ❤️
I agree, 1 king and one who can also be called a king.😅
so true
Hell yeah tell.it like it is
Now days music need to get there shit together
One person disliked this! WTF.
Probably Killary, lmao!
Dude Ik. This is one of the best songs I know of when it comes to country. And when people dislike things like this it really confuses me. Why would you even take time out of your day just to quickly dislike a beautiful song
Probably luke bryan
Probably Bieber's fan
love this song
I got to see several of his concerts from back stage and just ot the right of stage behind the speakers doing EMS standby. Seen him at the Houston Live Stock and Rodeo Show too. A true gentleman of Country Music and the King of Country music.
Roy Poteete Where you there for the final Astrodome show, when he came out riding on the white horse?
He'll yea!!
Now this is real country music!
Today's country singers need to regonize to reel deal.
H20 togo real*
Fantastic duo together. Such fantastic singers
fucking pine tree singing wtf
Not bad for old boys! They still got it
You got that right!
only the old boys know how to do it.
King of country!
Eh, what about kings!
