A Jukebox With A Country Song
Doug Stone
Album: Doug Stone - Super Hits
D
After three good years together,
G D
We had our first big fight
So she went to her mother's
Em A7
And I went for a drive
D
Down that old familiar highway,
G
Just a few miles out of town
D
To that run-down one-room tavern
A7 D
That used to be my stompin' grounds
D
When I pulled into the driveway
G D
You know it all still looked the same
And I couldn't wait to down a few
Em A7
And hear that jukebox ring
D
But when I walked in through the doorway
G
There stood some kind of Matre D
D A7
And he looked me up, and he looked me down, and said,
D
"Can I help you please?"
(And I said)
chorus:
D G
What'd you do with those swingin' doors?
D
And where's the sawdust on the floor?
A7
Why's everybody wearin' suits and ties?
D
From where I stand I can't believe my eyes
D G
And whose idea was it to hang these ferns?
D
This brand-new bar don't have a single burn
A7
I guess I'm somewhere that I don't belong
G D
I need a juke box with a country song
D
When I looked into the corner
G D
Where the jukebox once stood proud
Some clown was playin' records...
Em A7
Too fast, too long, and too loud
D
And it must have been a big mistake
G
To try to speak my mind
D
So as they were askin' me to leave
A7 D
I cried out one more time...
(repeat chorus)
A7
...I guess I don't belong
G D
Without a jukebox and a country song
