Stones, Doug - A Jukebox With A Country Song lyrics

rate me

After three good years together<br />

We had our first big fight<br />

So she went to her mothers<br />

And I went for a drive<br />

<br />

Down an old familiar highway<br />

Just a few miles out of town<br />

To that run-down, one-room tavern<br />

That used to be my stomping ground<br />

<br />

Well, I pulled in the driveway<br />

You know it all still looked the same<br />

And I couldn't wait to down a few<br />

And hear that jukebox ring<br />

<br />

Now as I walked in through the doorway<br />

Well, there stood some kind of Matradee<br />

Well, he looked me up, and he looked me down<br />

Said, "May I help you please?"<br />

<br />

And I said, "What'd you do with the swinging doors?<br />

Where's the sawdust on the floor?<br />

Why's everybody wearing suits and ties<br />

From western, I can't believe my eyes"<br />

<br />

"And whose idea was it to hang these spurs<br />

This brand new bar don't have a sink or fur<br />

I guess I'm somewhere that I don't belong<br />

I need a jukebox with a country song"<br />

<br />

Well, I looked back to the corner<br />

Where the jukebox once stood proud<br />

Some clown was playing records<br />

Well, too fast, too long and too loud<br />

<br />

And it must has been a big mistake<br />

To try and speak my mind<br />

So as they were asking me to leave<br />

I cried out one more time<br />

<br />

"What'd you do with the swinging doors?<br />

Where's the sawdust on the floor?<br />

Why's everybody wearing suits and ties<br />

From western, I can't believe my eyes"<br />

<br />

"And whose idea was it to hang these spurs<br />

This brand new bar, don't have a sink or fur<br />

I guess, I'm somewhere that I don't belong<br />

I need a jukebox with a country song<br />

I guess I don't belong<br />

Without a jukebox with a country song"
