The Jukebox Played Along

The Jukebox Played Along - Gene Watson

Well' I got off work and headed for town

To have a few

Determined I would drown

The pain of losing you

But this couple on the dance

Floor were droppin' quarters in a slot

And this heartless thing kept spinnin'

Old forget me nots

The jukebox played along to my misery in song

Just as if it felt

The pain that I was goin' through

Oh it wailed out crying time

And you were always on my mind

I was singin' the blues

And the jukebox played along

Well' the more

I drank the more

It became a mystery

How the men who wrote

These songs wrote then just for me

They must have hid out in my closet

Or they had to read my mail

Lord I must have heard

At least ten dollars worth of Hell

Oh the jukebox played along

To my misery in song

Just as if it felt the pain that

I was goin' through

It played I'm born to lose and

I can't stop loving you

I was singin' the blues

And the jukebox played along

They played watson and jones

Travis kept pickin' up bones

Somebody laughed

And I'm so lonesome I could cry

There goes my everything

They played golden rings

They played haggard and hank give me

Another drink

And will morning star
