I just spent my last nickel tryin' to drive my tears away

Tryin' to mend a broken heart that you once led astray

I know life is funny this old world is built that way

So many disappointments that's what makes the jukebox play



Every time I see your new love I bow my head and pray

That they always talk things over and understand each other's way

But sometimes it doesn't happen it's a fool like me who pays

He'll be alone in this old world that's what makes the jukebox play

[ steel - fiddle ]

Some people seem so happy they're laughin' and gay

Love to them is just a word tomorrow's another day

My life would be so empty for my heart won't live that way

All kinds of people make this world that's what makes the jukebox play

All kinds of people make this world that's what makes the jukebox play
