(Don't) Put a Nickel in the Jukebox

This morning, my baby left me
That's why I'm sitting here with nothing to say
So don't put a nickel in the jukebox
I couldn't stand to hear those sad old songs today

I've been here so many times with her
But I've never walked in here and felt like this before
We'd put in our order, grab our singles and our quarters
I'd light us a smoke to share, and the jukebox revved it's motor

But this morning, my baby left me
That's why I'm sitting here with nothing to say
So don't put a nickel in the jukebox
I couldn't stand to hear those sad old songs today

And the records spun...
George and tammy, Conway and Loretta
Merle and Bonnie, Porter and Dolly
Emmy and Rodney and Johnny and June
And Waylon and Jessi in a diner for two

But this morning, my baby left me
That's why I'm sitting here with nothing to say
So don't put a nickel in the jukebox
I couldn't stand to hear those sad old songs today

I couldn't stand to hear those sad old songs today
