Leftys Gone

A jukebox introduced us when the 60s was still young, if you got the money
Honey got my nickels one by one, I tried to imatate that song, its not right
But leftys gone, and always late breaks my heart and every song he sang i
Played the part, I heard he was sad and lived alone, its not right but leftys
Gone, he played the fair in dallas one year in the cold october rain, some
Folks stayed home in one but he sang just the same, I caught a chill before i
Got home, its not right but leftys gone, I heard he was sad and lived alone,
Its not right but leftys gone, it dont seem like he was around that long,
Its not right but leftys gone.

Fool Hearted Memory

Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
Shes on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didnt win
Theres an old love in his heart that he cant lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that its no use
Chorus:
Hes got a fool hearted memory
That wont let him see
That she walked out the door
Hes got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more
She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times

Party In A One Horse Town

It’s just me tonight that props the bar
Just arrived, didn’t come far
Decided on a party; had to be done
Gonna have my way, have my fun
Otherwise I’ll be feeling down
Party in a one horse town
Just me and Mr. Jukebox; party for fun
If I was the bullet she was the gun
She was the judge and I was the crime
She shot me down in my prime
The joke’s on me, I’m the clown
Party in a one horse town
I think I’ll have another just to help me sleep
Can’t leave now I’m in too deep
Funny how the wound gets bigger
Long after she pulled that trigger
The joke’s on me, I’m the clown
Here’s to the party in the one horse town
Here’s to the parting, one more for the road
I’ve finally figured out the secret code

I Sacrificed More Than Youll Ever Lose

(beverly j. carlton, james l. benton)
I fed the children
And I kissed them goodnight
You fed the jukebox
Till they turn out the lights
I bought the bacon
While you bought the booze
Ive sacrificed more than youll ever lose
Needing new clothes with the money you spent
On barbills and motels and women you met
But I stood the heartache that you put me through
Ive sacrificed more than youll ever lose
I gave up so much
And now Im giving up you
Its too late to make up for
The love that you used
Ive had enough
I dont want you around
Dont look at me
Like I let you down

Cheated On

She entered the bar with a grace i've never seen
She wore red lipstick, and blonde hair and quiet serene
Went up to the jukebox and played such a sad song
With tears in her eyes, you knew she'd been done wrong
She ordered a drink, a weak one she said
She chewed on her lip until it bled
How could someone want to hurt her so bad?
She wasn't even mad but very sad
She came home early and found him with another
She wanted him to be true and not be with some other
She didn't know what to do, give him another chance?
Every woman he passed, he took a second glance
Once burnt, so hard to trust again
She remembered their love from way back when
She drank till some of the pain subsided
That's when she made up her mind and decided
She said he'd done this to her before
She was so hurt that she walked out the door
She would never again believe what he said
She walked out for good, told him he had made his bed!

There'll Always Be A Honky Tonk Somewhere

There may no be a Superbowl in 2083
Cars and trains and video games will all be history
The world just keeps on changing, things come and then they go
Nothing lasts forever except one thing I know
There'll always be a honky tonk
With a jukebox in the corner
And someone crying in their beer
And one old hanger-oner
And a lady looking lonely
From a losing love affair
Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere
Yeah there'll always be a honky tonk somewhere
There may be factories on the moon and farming out in space
It seems there's nothing here on earth
That something won't replace
But as long as there's a broken heart there'll be a place to go
Where good ole boys meet good ole girls
And the wine and music flow

Honky Tonk Christmas

Pretty Paper" is playing on the jukebox
And mistletoe is hanging above the bar
I want to thank you for this
broken heart that I got
Merry Christmas Girl
Wherever in the world you are
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll bi over you by New Year's Eve
"Blue Christmas" turn it up I wanna hear it
So I can unwrap all them Mem'ries in my mind
Hey Joe!! pour me some Christmas spirit
If I make it through December I'll be fine
Chorus
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
For these silent nights at home are killing me
It's going to be a honky tonk Christmas
But I'll bi over you by New Year's Eve
Yeah I'll be over you by

Roll Over Beethoven

Well gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local D.J.
It's a rockin' little record
I want my jockey to play
Roll over Beethoven
I gotta hear it again today

You know my temperature's risin'
and the jukebox's blowin' a fuse
My hearts beatin' rhythm
and my soul keeps singing the blues
Roll over Beethoven
and tell Tchaikovsky the news

I got a rockin' pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I think I got it off the writer
sittin' down by the rhythm review
Roll over Beethoven
we're rockin' in two by two

Honky Tonk Saturday Night

Angels and devils share the same tables
And thats not so wrong if you get it done right.
Halos and horns lock up on the dance floor
On a honkytonk saturday night.
Its a honkytonk saturday night,
Its not who is who, its who will or who might.
With luck shell turn on fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk saturday night.
I played the jukebox, I played some merle haggard,
Me and the waitress think hes outta sight.
Then some folks got thirsty while we were dancin
On a honkytonk saturday night.
Its a honkytonk saturday night,
Its not who is who, its who will or who might.
With luck Ill turn her on fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk saturday night.
With luck Ill take her home fore they turn out the lights
On a honkytonk saturday night.

Things Go Better With Coke #1

Orbison/dees
Roy orbison wants to get together again
Baby, how it hurts to break up, but its so much fun to make up
Lets do the things we used to do, you love me and I love you
Lets talk again, joke again lets get together for a coke again
Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
Lets relive the date that we just broke, our favorite cafe, the special of the day
The jukebox playing, things go better with coke
Well, waiter, waiter, treat us right, you remember what we like
Shes back again, by my side again, waiter, we want to feel alive again
Things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke
I;m glad we kept the date we almost broke, our favorite cafe, the special of the day
The jukebox playing, things go better with coke
(spoken) you never get tired of its taste coke after coke
Things go better with coke #2
Orbison/dees
Roy orbison takes a break
Stayed out too late, at work at eight, dont wanna wait for that ten o clock break
Big man, if you can, let me go for a coke right now
For things go better with coca cola, things go better with coke

She's Leavin'

When I think about the time that I sat crying in my beer
Jukebox pounding misery from ear to ear
I know I'd tell myself I'm better off without you here
But I'm looking for beginnings when the end is always near.
She's leavin' in the morning sing a sad song for me
Keeping me in the dark don't know how long it will be
But I've heard that tune before she says she's gotta be free
But I know that's not true and that's what's bothering me.
Anywhere you look it's everywhere and all around
It's the blues they keep singing lord
And it's bound to get you down
But the melody can move you in a way to ease the pain
And it won't be long before you're on your feet again
I'd be alright if she'd just make up her mind
I don't know why but I forgive her, time after time...

California Man

Goin to a party,
Meet me out after school.
Well we go to a place
Where the jive is really cool.
And if the band stops a playin
Theres a jukebox in the hall.
Well put your blue dress on,
And your folks all gone.
Youll sure give the guys a ball.
Chorus:
Get that real guitar boy shakin,
Im a california man,
Dance right on till the floors are breakin
Im a california man.
Well I cross my mamma so bad
And this a womans just a making me mad.
So I dont care if your legs start aching,
Im a california man.
Oh my, Im a california man.
Oh my legs start to shiver

Ill Do The Driving

She knows nothing at all about nothing
The moment I saw her was something I found alarming
That certain nothing behind her eyes
Tv, she finds intoxicating
Shows about cops and dating
She has a soft spot
For cops who are robots
And I dont know where this is going
But Ive got a feeling
Ill do the driving from now on
Sometimes we stare at the stars from my roof
She wants to know if they are _fire proof_
I say I guess so, how else can they glow on for so long
Were out, the jukebox plays jumping jack flash
She says i love johnny cash, the man in red
I turn my head and pretend not to hear what she said
And I dont know where this is going
But Ive got a feeling
Ill do the driving from now on
And I dont know where this is going

The Wild & The Young

Times are changing
Nothing stays the same
For this jukebox generation
Adhere to fashion
Like computer games
Modern day communication
The news hard to take
Will fade tomorrow
They are the strong
They'll survive
The wild and the young
They all have their dreams
The wild and the young
They've got to be free
The sun never sets
For souls on the run
The wild and the young
Yeah
Hah!
Roaring passion

Looking Back On Today

30th of April seems like yesterday
bought a house above the ocean where
our kids could laugh and play
i called u from paris to tell you that i
wrote our names on the observation deck
of the Eiffel Tower
Reamember those nights playing "summer wind"
on the jukebox of the bar where we used to go
we made out in the bathroom
and you walked me to my house
i tried to convince you not to go home
if only i had more time
i'd take u where u wanted to go
Italy isnt the same without you here
if only i had one wish
id want a million trillion lifetimes
that i could spend with you
id fall in love with you again and again
1st of novemeber 1998
i was thinking of what to say when i would call
