Jukebox heartache

Verse

Well I left Kentucky with a half-tank of regret

Your lipstick on my collar and a two-dollar bet

That I'd be back by Sunday with my tail between my legs

But I'm three states over now and I ain't begging yet

The radio's playing something lonesome and true

Every steel guitar lick just reminds me of you

But I'll take this heartache, wear it like a crown

'Cause the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Chorus

I'm honky-tonk lonely, jukebox sad

Dancing with the memory of the best thing I ever had

Your ghost is in the whiskey, your voice is in the sound

But the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Verse

There's a blonde at the bar with her eyes painted blue

She's got that same kind of smile that I fell for in you

But I know better now than to play that game again

I'll just nurse this bottle and pretend we're still friends

The bartender's asking if I'm doing alright

I said "Pour me another, gonna be a long night"

These boots were made for leaving but they keep spinning 'round

'Cause the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Chorus

I'm honky-tonk lonely, jukebox sad

Dancing with the memory of the best thing I ever had

Your ghost is in the whiskey, your voice is in the sound

But the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow I'll wake up and you'll be gone

Maybe this heartache won't last quite so long

But tonight I'm just a fool with his heart on the ground

Where the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Chorus

I'm honky-tonk lonely, jukebox sad

Dancing with the memory of the best thing I ever had

Your ghost is in the whiskey, your voice is in the sound

But the jukebox won't stop playing in this one-horse town

Outro

No, the jukebox won't stop playing

In this one-horse town
