put a $1.00 in the juke box

put a dollar
in the juke box
no. Hell!
make it a $5
play the sad ones
one more time
you've heard 'em all
the one's that make you fall

give me george jones
willie &n merle
& johnny & such
play it sad
that ain't too much to ask
not for a fiver & an old survivor

it's my money, honey
so play it sad
don't remind tonight
of just what i had

play it soft
play it loud
remind me of when
i stood proud
remind of when
and back then

heres $5.00
and a $2.00 bill
one for the beer
the others for lovin'
that old heart of mine

tear me up
tear me up
tear me down
playin' that sad sound
one more round

let me drink
let me sink
just don't let me think

so here's$5.00 for the juke box
bring me a beer
now get lost
darlin'
won't pay the cost
of be'in in love
or be'in in lust

$5.00 for the juke box
play what i must

keep playin' the juke box
'till i am dust

let me drink
let me think
let me sink no more
aw darlin' play me some mpore
