Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, you taught me
How to hurt real bad
And cry myself to sleep
Showed me how this town
Can shatter dreams
[Verse 2]
Another lesson about a naive fool
That came to Babylon
And found out that the
Pie don't taste so sweet
[Verse 3]
Now it's guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets
That I call home
[Verse 4]
Yeah my, guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Is the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
[Verse 5]
There ain't no glamour
In this tinseled land
Of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars
Are all that's left for me
[Verse 6]
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 7]
And it's guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets
That I call home
[Verse 8]
Yeah my, guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Is the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
[Verse 9]
Oh, it's guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Lonely, lonely streets
That I call home
[Verse 10]
Yeah my, guitars, Cadillacs
Hillbilly music
Is the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
[Verse 11]
It's the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing
That keeps me hanging on
