Goodbye to Songtown

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 wooed me for a while

Oh, but I was just a child

All alone, just me and my loneliness

The angels came 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 anymore

All alone, just me and my loneliness

The angels came 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 anymore

Lullabies from Tennessee are pleasing to the ear indeed

But they're not any use to me
