Dale Mabry - Put Another Quarter (in The Record Machine) lyrics

Your rating:

It was a dog-tired Friday night in this honky-tonk

I told the bartender, "Cash me out. I'm fixing to go."

That's when the jukebox stopped

And she walked in

I said, "Now, wait a minute, Gary, guess I'll have one more round.

And send a whiskey to the woman that just sat herself down."

I said, "My name is Dale."

She said her name was Lynn.



So put another quarter in the record machine

This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you

Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance

We try to make a living and we get what we can

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you



I can see it in your eyes you've spent all day on your feet

That makes two of us, but baby, there's worse places to be

Than dancing in the dark with a man that understands you

I don't have to be your lover or your man on the side

It don't have to last forever

It can just be tonight

But come on, don't be shy

It's not long until the sunrise



So put another quarter in the record machine

This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you

Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance

We try to make a living and we get what we can

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you



We got no one to depend on, but folks depending on us

They take up all our minutes

They take up all our hours

They leave us Friday nights and the touches of a stranger

But why don't we make the most of it, burn like hungry lovers

We live and die alone, but tonight we've got each other

And these big strong arms will protect you from all danger



So put another quarter in the record machine

This night's a ways from over if you know what I mean

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you

Us folks don't get the luxuries of love and romance

We try to make a living and we get what we can

So, may I have this dance?

Ooh, I'd like to get to know you
