Gene Watson - The Jukebox Played Along

Gene Watson - The Jukebox Played Along (WITH LYRICS),From The Album Back In The Fire 1989

Well' I got off work and headed for town to have a few
Determined I would drown the pain of losing you
But this couple on the dance floor were droppin' quarters in aslot
And this heartless thing kept spinnin' old forget-me-nots

The jukebox played along to my misery in song
Just as if it felt the pain that I was goin' through
Oh, it wailed out Crying Time and You Were Always On My Mind
I was singin' the blues and the jukebox played along

Well' the more I drank the more it became a mystery
How the men who wrote these songs wrote then just for me
They must have hid out in my closet or they had to read my mail
Lord, I must have heard at least ten dollars worth of Hell

Oh, the jukebox played along to my misery in song
Just as if it felt the pain that I was goin' through
It played I'm Born To Lose and I Can't Stop Loving You
I was singin' the blues and the jukebox played along

They played Watson and Jones, Travis kept pickin' up bones
Somebody Laughed and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
There Goes My Everything, they played Golden Rings
They played Haggard and Hank, give me another drink

This guy is good, I mean real good. He beats the crap out of the guys trying to sing CW songs now.

Thank you for the post. I love everything he sings! He's been around about 35 years & deserves to be in the Country Music Hall Of Fame.

I just have to post again about this winner by Gene. This song is great to dance to and when I hear this on the jukebox at our American Legion it sounds as if Gene is right there with us in person. I wish he was ! Gene is fabulous and everything he sings is a hit. Thank you once more for posting this . - Paula(PaulinaRena)
