Lyrics

(D. Yoakam)

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 about a naive fool that came to Babylon

And found out that the pie don`t taste so sweet

Chorus:

Now it`s guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music

And lonely, lonely streets that I call home

Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music

Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on

There ain`t no glamor in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives

And painful scars are all that`s left of me

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

Chorus:

And it`s guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music

And lonely, lonely streets that I call home

Yeah my guitars, Cadillacs and hillbilly music

Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on

It`s the only thing that keeps me hanging on

It`s the only thing that keeps me hanging on
