There Stands The Jukebox.

from The Sound Of Lonesome by Dusty Woods

/

about

Traditional country with a twist, verging on Ray Price style western swing.

lyrics

Gather round and listen, 'cause I've got a tale to tell
It's all about a lonely man, I'm sure you know it well,
He's here, he walks among you, though you might never know,
His pride won't let him let the teardrops show.

Break:
He gambled all and lost it all, and wound up all alone
He never thought this barroom would become his second home
Now he needs a song to tell him how love can be so cruel,
There stands the jukebox, here stands a fool

I wish that I could tell you how my story ends,
How the fool finds a brand new love and how his poor heart mends,
But the story's far from over, it just goes on and on,
He's here tonight but the one he loves' still gone.

Break:
It's not a happy ending, ah but that's the way it goes
How many other broken hearts are here, God only knows
So spend those quarters, play those songs, 'cause here the heartaches rule,
There stands the jukebox, here stands a fool
There stands the jukebox, here stands a fool.
