A Quarter At A Time

A Quarter At A Time - Rick Trevino

Written by：Paul Nelson/Larry Boone

I've been sliding quarters down that jukebox

Since I stepped in here

You'd think there'd be one song

To help this heartache disappear

By now I should be over her

It was over long ago

But it's closin' time and I'm not even close

So Mister please

Turn the lights back down

I can't leave here while she's still here on my mind

Give me change for one more ten

Then plug that jukebox in

I'll turn it up and let it whine

Till I'm down to my last dime

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

It's that time of night I feel no pain

That's when it starts to hurt

So let me stay and play those sad ol'

Songs for all they're worth

'Cause I'm still under that spell

And half out of my mind

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

So Mister please

Turn the lights back down

I can't leave here while she's still here on my mind

Give me change for one more ten

Then plug that jukebox in

I'll turn it up and let it whine

Till I'm down to my last dime

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time
