The Jukebox Played Along
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 aslot
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

La Rockola Acompañaba
Bueno, salí del trabajo y me dirigí a la ciudad para tomar unos tragos
Decidido a ahogar el dolor de perderte
Pero esta pareja en la pista de baile estaba metiendo monedas en una ranura
Y esta cosa despiadada seguía girando viejos no-me-olvides
La rockola acompañaba mi miseria en canción
Como si sintiera el dolor por el que estaba pasando
Oh, lloraba con Crying Time y You Were Always On My Mind
Yo cantaba blues y la rockola acompañaba
Mientras más bebía, más se volvía un misterio
Cómo los hombres que escribieron estas canciones las escribieron solo para mí
Deben haberse escondido en mi armario o tenido que leer mi correo
Señor, debo haber escuchado al menos diez dólares de infierno
Oh, la rockola acompañaba mi miseria en canción
Como si sintiera el dolor por el que estaba pasando
Sonaba I'm Born To Lose y I Can't Stop Loving You
Yo cantaba blues y la rockola acompañaba
Sonaban Watson y Jones, Travis seguía tocando huesos
Alguien se rió y I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry
There Goes My Everything, sonaban Golden Rings
Sonaban Haggard y Hank, dame otro trago
