Watson, Gene - The Jukebox Played Along Lyrics






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 a slot
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

    your voice is more mellow now and still as strong as ever but I miss that old catch in your voice, or açcent?, not sure what to call it. still love yr music. except the words to Carmen and love in the hot afternoon.... think I might write nice words to those cause your vocals are so good. ☺⛪

  21. K.... L....

    Great song🎤

  22. B.... L....

    Rose Clark How do you George Jones is a new comer I grew listening to him in the 50's, Alan Jacson is a throwback to the bygone era's of Country Music. Anything Kieth Urban does U can throw in a garbage can. George Strait is straight up Country Music and Toby Keith is in the area of Waylon, Willie and Hank Jr..

    B.... L....

    +Bruce Loomer ...hey dude, totally agreed. Good statement. mos60

  23. D.... B....

    I just fell all over in love with Gene Watson, Wow! I'd forgotten what an awesome voice & music this great artist recorded, now I'm headed out for his CD's. Thanks so much.

    D.... ....

    So u were using tapes??

  34. f.... p....

    underrated but one of the best stylists there ever will be

    f.... p....

    Over 50 years of Great Music!

    f.... p....

    I agree

  35. w.... ....

    one of those very few guys like the opossum that can sing anything, he could sing the ingredients to stool softener and it would sound good, most guys today would make it sound like shit haha, there are some great singers that I wish would get on the ball because guys like daryl singletery and sammy kershaw can really help fill shoes, why do singers now have to have an expiration date

  36. N.... B....

    Love everything this man sings!

  37. a.... ....

    Please don't disparage George Jones, he is the greatest that ever lived but I truly love Gene Watson, George Strait, Conway Twitty...let's face it, the new guys never will hold a candle to their greatness.

  38. R.... C....

    I agree danielwaddell1, George Jones, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Keith Urban, Blake Shelton, Toby Ketih, all of these new comers are not any comparison to Gene Watson. He needs to be reconized more than he is.

  39. O.... O....

    Gene is fantastic! He's so considerate of his fans!

  40. D.... w....

    we don't hear country like this any more .he has the best voice in country music . george jone's cant carry a tune next to GEAN WATSON

  46. J.... ....

  47. D.... W....

    Gary Gene's last top 40 hit. Made #24 in Billboard, 9-16-89. God bless!

  48. O.... O....

    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.

    O.... O....

    so true. He should have been in there years ago

  49. t.... ....

    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 .

  50. l.... m....

    have always been a huge fan of genes saw him oct 2009 he was great

  51. M.... ....

    hay jukebox Girl Hows about the best singer in the universe and beyond.

  52. P.... R....

    Hows About GENE WATSON # 1 Country Singer Of All Time !

  53. D.... ....

    I couldn't agree with you MORE, Tedone2, Gene is one of my TOP 5 FAV male Country singers, always has been, he is SO underrated, and has a God given talent of singing for sure... and he SHOULD have had MANY #1 hits on the charts, but forget the damn charts, to his fans he has had Many #1s... I love Country, BOTH oldschool and the new, but nothing like the Oldies but Goodies like Gene... We used to see him every summer for many years at Sunset Park in West Grove, PA yrs. ago, miss that...

  54. N.... ....

    When Conway was alive & making his hits, he was rated way up there!#1 He started out in rock in the 50's and moved onward to country.. Conway's biggest fan was my Mother.. believe me you'd have to live in our house to know Conway was always #1.

  55. M.... a....

    He should have had at least NINE #1hits probably more

  56. T.... W....

    Gene Watson is one of the most under rated Country singers of all time along with Conway Twitty

    T.... W....

    so true

  57. j.... ....

    Vintage Gene Watson*****Thank you.

  58. L.... D....

    What a beautiful song. Gene Watson is the best! What a beautiful and soft voice and so easy to listen to. Thanks for posting
