Just Like A Jukebox

Lyrics Signing off this faded love tonight Stepping out in style Got you cheating on my mind Got my finger in the dial I think I need another drink Let's go down to the bar Loosen up before I start to sink Please don't ask me why I do it It's the same old step from the same old shoe But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying If you try a little harder I know that you can play Just like a jukebox Empty glasses are drained and stacked The band is playing and the floor is packed It's the same old singer It's the same old beat He trades his peace of mind for another piece of meat Please don't ask me why I do it It's the same old step from the same old shoe But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying If you try a little harder I know that you can play Just like a jukebox Bar is closing and the band is drunk Picked up the drummer and they put him in a trunk Barman says it's getting late You better make it to the door The one that I had over the eight seems less like one and more like four Please don't ask me why I do it It's the same old step from the same old shoe But if the customers like it they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking they'll end up staying If you try a little harder I know that you can play Just like a jukebox Just like a jukebox Just like a jukebox
