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 bout a naive fool that came to Babylon
And found out that the pie don't taste so sweet

Now it's guitars Cadillacs hillbilly music
And lonely lonely streets I call home
Yeah my guitars Cadillacs hillbilly music
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
[ guitar - fiddle ]
There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land of lost and wasted last
And painful scars are all that's left of me
Oh but thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now I guess I'll just leave

Now it's guitars Cadillacs hillbilly music...
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Oh it's guitars Cadillacs hillbilly music...
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
It's the only thing that keeps me hanging on
