JUKEBOX Lyrics

In a bar around the corner

Sits a solitary man

And he likes to tell the customers

That he once was in a band

Although I'd never heard of them before they took a dive

His local bar is helping

Keep his memories alive

Cause they've still got his record on the jukebox

Though the girl that he sang it for is married now and gone

They've still got his record on the jukebox

He's the only one to put it on

He will tell you of the studio

They hired just for fun

And how they cut a forty-five

Bound for number one

He says you must have heard of it, it made number thirty-nine

And as he sits beside the jukebox

He will play it one more time

Cause they've still got his record on the jukebox

Though the girl that he sang it for is married now and gone

They've still got his record on the jukebox

He's the only one to put it on

It's an old scratched and worn-out blues

Like a good old pair of walking shoes

Makes you feel like nothing can go wrong

There's something in that melody

That just keeps right on haunting me

But for him it means nothing now she's gone

I was in there on the Monday

When she walked in the saloon

Something about her caught my eye

As she climbed the bar-room stool

The same old walk, the same old smile from all those years gone by

Come back to find the man she loved

And the song that made her cry

Cause they've still got his record on the jukebox

Though the girl that he sang it for is married now and gone

They've still got his record on the jukebox

He's the only one to put it on

Yes, he's still the only one to put it on
