Recorded by Gene Watson
[G]Well I got off work and headed for town to [D7]have a few
Determined I would drown the pain of [G]losing you
But this couple on the dance floor were [C]dropping quarters in a slot
And this [D7]heartless thing kept spinning old [G]forget-me-nots
The jukebox played along to my [C]misery in song
Just as [D7]if it felt the pain that I was [G]going through
Oh it wailed out Crying Time and You Were [C]Always On My Mind
I was [D7]singing the blues and the jukebox played [G]along
Well the more I drank the more it became [D7]a mystery
How the men who wrote these songs wrote then [G]just for me
They must have hid out in my closet or they [C]had to read my mail
Lord I [D7]must have heard at least ten dollars [G]worth of Hell
Oh the jukebox played along to my [C]misery in song
Just as [D7]if it felt the pain that I was [G]going through
It played I'm Born To Lose and I [C]Can't Stop Loving You
I was [D7]singing the blues and the jukebox played [G]along
[D7]They played Watson and Jones [G]Travis kept picking up bones
[D7]Somebody Laughed and I'm So [G]Lonesome I Could Cry
[D7]There Goes My Everything [G]they played Golden Rings
[D7]They played Haggard and Hank [G]give me another drink
[G]Well I got off work and headed for town to [D7]have a few
Determined I would drown the pain of [G]losing you
But this couple on the dance floor were [C]dropping quarters in a slot
And this [D7]heartless thing kept spinning old [G]forget-me-nots
