Beer & Bones

(sanger d. shafer/lonnie williams)
I aint nothin but beer and bones
Honey since I lost you
I aint ate a bite
Since the night
That you said were through
I walked to that jukebox to play
A few sad country songs
I heard someone say
Hey that old boy
Aint nothin but beer and bones
I got to work this morning
Early this afternoon
Yeah my boss man nudged me
Said son I need to talk to you
You used to make me money
But lately I been taking a loss
Well he smelled my breath
Gave me what was left
Of the day off

If The Whole World Was A Honky Tonk

If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,
And soon, they'd all be gone.
Yeah, if you asked me what I thought,
I'd say: "We'd be better off,
"If the whole world was a honky-tonk."
You could smoke that cigarette,
An' be politically incorrect.
Show off that red 'round your neck:
Not hear a single soul object.
Wouldn't need no lawyers to decide,
Who is wrong and who is right.
No need for big expensive trials:
Brother, we'd just step outside.
If the whole world was a honky-tonk,
And it revolved around an old jukebox,
We'd tell our troubles to the Bar,
Over cryin' steel guitars,

Dancing At The Rainbow Grill

Downtown in front of a renowned, teenage hangout,
Every weekend evening we formed a jovial group,
Boys and girls together would converse and frolic
While a jukebox played popular music on a stoop,
On the dance floor of the Rainbow Grill.

There is where Henry Shane and littleJoey Quinn,
With Nicky Walker, a comedian, who stole the show,
The robust Charlie Wagner, with a petite, pretty girl
First picked up the footwork for the rock and roll
On the dance floor of the Rainbow Grill.

Round and round the dance floor the couples twirled,
As the jukebox played ' The Twist' or 'Blueberry Hill',
Boys and girls together, versatile and lightfooted,
The body motion and musical tempo created a thrill
On the dance floor of the Rainbow Grill.

Times have changed since those memorable evenings,
The group has gone afar now, but they must feel like me,

Midnight At The Lost And Found

Hey Ricky, now mine is empty
How about one for you
We could set it out together
Seems tomorrow's overdue
Captain Video, done went home
One pilot laid to rest
And dragon ladies talk that talk
About who loves who - who loves best
Silver bullets in the jukebox
Spin another round
Everybody at the back of the line
It's midnight at the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Lost souls in the hunting ground
A remedy for all your ills
At the lost and found
Midnight at the lost and found
Midnight...
Have a double it's gettin' late
You'll get home home, just rely on fate

The End

This is the end
My only friend, the end
This is the end
My only friend, the end
I'll offer you some
I'll offer you sexualism and a masculine man
You can rephrase my friend (alt: you can deface my grave, my friend)
The killer woke up in Belgium
And he poured a lot of syrup on his waffles
And he walked on down the hall
And he said, all I want is to have some hasbrowns and some grits
And then he walked on down the hall
And then he said, listen I got a quarter in my pocket
And I see that waffle house jukebox
And I'm gonna walk up to the coinslot
And then there's a direst line between my pupil and that cionslot
And I lift that quarter out of my pocket
And I said, I wanna hear the waffle house theme
So I walk up to the jukebox, and I said
Come on in

Down & Out

Well Im out on a tear cause shes tearing me apart
If I look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt,
Since my woman left, Im down and out.
Well, Im down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what Im about.
Since my woman left, Im down and out.
Well Im down to my last dollar, but I dont really care.
My friends have all got whiskey, and they dont mind if I share.
They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out,
Since my woman left, Im down and out.
Well, Im down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what Im about.
Since my woman left, Im down and out.
Since my woman left, since my woman left,
Since my woman left, Im down and out.

Juniors Grill

Mashed potatos, lima beans,
Redeye gravy, collard greens,
Cutest waitress youve ever seen,
Down at juniors grill.
Sweet ginger brings your plate,
Always hot and never late;
Top it off with a chocolate cake,
Down at juniors grill.
Its heaven with a corner booth,
Thats the truth;
Chrome and naugahyde;
Its cool inside.
The jukebox never stops,
Theres coffee in the pot,
So come and get your fill
At juniors grill.
Ginger takes her break at 10,
Lays aside her pad and pen,
Punches up stand by your man
Down at juniors grill.

My Old Flame Is Burnin Another Honky Tonk Down

Just a one pump fil-in station
Lord and one old general store
I found her in that wide spot in the road
And the brightest lights shed ever seen
Were the headlights on my pickup
Till she saw the lights behind those swinging doors
And everywhere she goes
She leaves the jukebox smoking
Everywhere shes been
Theres ashes on the ground
I see the glow in the sky
Through the teardrops in my eyes
My old flames out burning
Another honky tonk down
So country, young and pretty
Shes never been no where before
And I lost her behind those swinging doors
Now its just me and my old pickup
Making every joint in town
Cuz tonight shes out somewhere to burn one down

If You Want To Find Love

He was sitting on a bar stool
A picture from a cheating song
Shed been standing by the jukebox
Dropping quarters all night long.
He said, tell me: are you lonely?
Is there some place we can go?
She said: cowboy, you know Im lonely
But theres something you should know.
If you wanna find gold go looking in the mountains
If you wanna find silver go digging in stones
If you wanna find heaven go reading in the Bible
If you wanna find love go looking at home.
She touched the gold ring on his finger
And held it to the jukebox light
And she said. Stranger, think what youre losing
If you leave here with me tonight.
So he hold her body closer
She felt feelings shed never known
And he said: thank you, for the lesson
And if you need me Ill be at home.

If Hell Had A Jukebox

(Travis Tritt. Lee Rogers)
You left me for a dream you had to follow
But I thought goodbye wouldn't last that long
You'd go off chasin' rainbows till you realized I loved you
And then run back to my arms where you belong
But months have passed, I guess I was mistakem
And love was something I thought I knew well
But when you called me on the phone, asking when you'd come back home
You simply told me I could go to Hell
(Well/And) Honey, if Hell had a jukebox
And the Devil kept it full of hurtin' songs
You could find me there this evening
With the broken hearted grieving
Prayin like hell you would come back home
I've looked at all the pictures from our good times
And tried to figure out where we went wrong
And I've dropped a million quarters down the jukebox
'Cause I'm still haunted by what used to be our song
I wish this mental torture would release me
Lord, I've give all I had for what it's worth

Jaqcui Broad

How I miss the sight of your name
The words of yours that never get lame
How I miss the write of reality
That in your poetry I saw possibility
Like Siyabonga I regarded you as my mentor the respect I had for u is way higher that any stiletto

Come back oh wonderful bird
Rescue out this sorrowful nerd
Just your name in my inbox
Will be music in my ears from the jukebox
Come back dear lady
Write once more oh fairlady

Love Child

She was the consequence of lust
In a cheap room over a bar.
He remembered as though it were
yesterday. Her naive mother
Was only nineteen and single
at the time; him? He was married,
Separated and twenty-eight.
Below, in the bar, the jukebox
Was blaring an instrumental
Whose deep, bass guitar synchronized
with every copulating thrust.
The tune ended before the sex
And climaxed with a gestation
To Diana Ross’s “Love Child.”

Never Say Die

As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (that's right)
We were as still as the wind
That blows on a hot August night

And you were lonesome
As a jukebox
But deadly just the same
I could be as gentle as a newborn
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane

And we knew how to laugh
And we knew how to cry
Yeah

Some Bar By The Harbor

Salin' can save me
Or I drown evermore
But I'm on the waves
With you on the shore
Never mind
One find day
In some bar
By the harbor
I'll find you
There you'll be
As you where
Corner stool
By the jukebox
Watin' for me
I can remember
Sweet child
Gone a mile
Swayin' your head
To the crazy ragtime
Sayin' "hey you got a quater?

The Buckeroos

Weve been riding all night long just to get there
Dont you be throwing us out so soon
Across the whole damn South with cotton-mouth
Now we got some drinking to do
Weve been stuck on the range for 45 days
And thats a long, long time
We aint leaving this place til theres a smile on our face
And the whole room is a friend of mine.
So wont you line em all up and slide em all down
And lets hear the jukebox roll
Weve been living on bacon and beans
Playing the jacks and the queens
But we still got some money to blow
And the time aint wild enough
We dig our spurs in, then make them jump
Were riding shotgun with the devil
Were the buckaroos.
My name is Gideon Tanner
Ive been a man of good manners
I wont dance til the ladies ask me

I Want You

By paul buchanan
Its the middle of the night
Its been a long hard day
I see you walk my way
Say it baby
I want you
The jukebox laughing low
At the sad motel
Knows that I cant break your spell
Say it baby
I want you
Its my life and I know
Even though you dont show me
Am I right?
Am I wrong to believe in you?
Yeah yeah
Say it baby
I want you
