Lullabies from tennessee
are pleasing to the ear indeed
but they're not any use to me
‘cause words and music strung together
won't make love last forever
so goodbye to songtown
it fooled me for a while
but now i see that i was blind
So i change the radio station
to news and conversation
and say goodbye to songtown
it woo'ed me for a while
but i was just a child
All alone, just me and my loneliness
the angels come down with their promises
singing their lies in rhythm and rhyme
So don't let the moon come out tonight
or the stars litter the sky
it's goodbye to songtown
there should be some kind of law
so it can't happen any more
