Girl you taught me how

to hurt real

bad and cry myself to sleep

And showed me how this town

can shatter dreams

Another lesson 'bout a naive fool

who came to Babylon

And found out that the pie

don't taste so sweet

Now it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

Lonely, lonely streets that I call home

Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

Ain't no glamour in this tinseled land

of lost and wasted lives

Painful scars are all that's left of me

Oh, but thank you girl for teachin'

me brand new ways to be cruel

If I can find my mind now I guess

I'll just leave

And it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

Lonely, lonely streets that I call home

Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

Oh it's guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

Lonely, lonely streets that I call home

Yeah, my guitars, Cadillacs, hillbilly music

It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on

It's the only thing that keeps me hangin' on
