Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Girl, you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet
[Verse 2]
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
[Verse 3]
There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
Oh, but thank you, girl, for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
If I can find my mind now, I guess I'll just leave
[Verse 4]
And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
[Verse 5]
Oh, it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
[Verse 6]
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on, on
