Crossroads Lounge - The Forsaken Queen: The Ghost of Music Row Lyrics

Nashville after midnight, the moon is hanging low
The sun is just about to rise, everyone's gone home
She walks the streets so sadly, where once she used to reign
And all her subjects followed her, calling out her name

Some conspired against her, and vowed to steal her crown
Their lyrics slowly poisoned her, their music struck her down
And when they finally killed her, they quietly laid her low
Now she reigns the Forsaken Queen, the Ghost of Music Row

Hail to the Queen
She roams the lonely streets at night to just relive the dream
Somewhere in the night
The dawn will come, she'll disappear, exit to stage right
All Hail the Queen

She can't walk out on to the Big Stage, radio won't speak her name
But some still sing her story, they love her just the same
Her beauty shines by moonlight since the spotlights are all gone
The roadside bar's her palace now, it's where she still belongs

Hail to the Queen
She roams the lonely streets at night to just relive the dream
Now, veiled from sight
She twirls within the smoke filled rooms and haunts the neon lights
All Hail the Queen

Sometimes she gets so lonely, she cries out in pain
And a writer somewhere gets a thought and puts it to the page
Her Majesty will guide him, her spirit will take hold
Of the latest subject of the Queen, the Ghost of Music Row

Hail to the Queen
She roams the lonely streets at night to just relive the dream
For now, all is right
She'll place her hand upon the one she's chosen for the night
All Hail the Queen
All hail the Queen
All hail the Queen
The Queen of music row

Nashville after midnight...
