Gene Watson The Jukebox Played Along lyrics

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

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

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
