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
