The Jukebox Played Along
Recorded by Gene Watson
G D7
Well I got off work and headed for town to have a few
G
Determined I would drown the pain of losing you
C
But this couple on the dance floor were dropping quarters in a slot
D7 G
And this heartless thing kept spinning old forget-me-nots
C
The jukebox played along to my misery in song
D7 G
Just as if it felt the pain that I was going through
C
Oh it wailed out Crying Time and You Were Always On My Mind
D7 G
I was singing the blues and the jukebox played along
D7
Well the more I drank the more it became a mystery
G
How the men who wrote these songs wrote then just for me
C
They must have hid out in my closet or they had to read my mail
D7 G
Lord I must have heard at least ten dollars worth of Hell
C
Oh the jukebox played along to my misery in song
D7 G
Just as if it felt the pain that I was going through
C
It played I'm Born To Lose and I Can't Stop Loving You
D7 G
I was singing the blues and the jukebox played along
D7 G
They played Watson and Jones Travis kept picking up bones
D7 G
Somebody Laughed and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
D7 G
There Goes My Everything they played Golden Rings
D7 G
They played Haggard and Hank give me another drink
