Put a quarter in the jukebox, I need to hear a honky-tonk song
Put a quarter in the jukebox, and I'll see if I can sing along
Put a quarter in the jukebox, let's pretend that she's not gone
Put a quarter in the jukebox, I need to hear a honky-tonk song

Well this old hole-in-the-wall, is a beer joint fit for me
I always see someone I know, hell
A lot of times I drink for free
Tonight I'm holding on, to the teardrops in my glass
She's about ninety miles down the highway
And now she is my past

Chorus

She left me crying on the front porch,
Just a whalin' and a hollerin' loud
I screamed please don't leave me,
You're the only think I've got to be proud
Next thing I know I'm sitting on this
Barstool I've been sitting here all night
With a bud light beer in my left hand
And a shot of Jack on my right

Chorus
