Goodbye To Songtown

Brian Kennedy


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 woo'ed me for a while 
But I was just a child 

All alone, just me and my loneliness 
The angels come 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 any more
