"Disenchanted" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Michael Martin Murphey. It was released in April 1984 as the third single from the album The Heart Never Lies. The song peaked at number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and at number 11 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart. It was written by Murphey, Jim Ed Norman and Chick Rains.
The music video was directed by Francis Delia and premiered in mid-1984.
Well I was there on the day
They sold the cars for the queen
And when the lights all went out
We watched our lives on the screen
I hate the ending myself
But it started with an all right scene
It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing
It was a lie when they smiled
And said, "You won't feel a thing"
And as we ran from the cops
We laughed so hard it would sting
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong
(So wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long?
(Night long, night long)
How will it matter after I'm gone?
Because you never learned a goddamned thing
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to you
I spent my high school career
Spit on and shoved to agree
So I could watch all my heroes
Sell a car on TV
We've got the obvious team
We'll show 'em what we all mean
Yeah yeah, oh
If I'm so wrong
(So wrong, so wrong)
How can you listen all night long?
(Night long, night long)
Now will it matter long after I'm gone?
Because you never learned a goddamned thing
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to you
So go, go away, just go, run away
But where did you run to?
And where did you hide?
Go find another way, but you pay
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to you, come on
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
About a lifelong wait for a hospital stay
And if you think that I'm wrong
This never meant nothing to you
