Play a Song (On the Jukebox)

Lyrics by Steven R. Drennon, ©️ 1993 - 2025 Please check out my YouTube channel if you get a chance: https://www.youtube.com/@firstep3 [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I was sitting on a bar stool on a Saturday night Trying to drink her out of my mind. Barmaid, keep them coming, and call me a cab When you’re closing, and I’ll be just fine. [Pre-Chorus] Then this lady walked up to the bar with a smile And asked for some change and a beer. She needs change for the jukebox, and the beer’s for a friend, And I tell her as I hold back the tears. [Chorus] Here’s a quarter, play a song on the jukebox. Make it a fast one, I don’t like them slow. The slow songs are sad songs that make me remember An old lover that I used to know. [Post-Chorus] She picked up the quarter and said “Thank you, sir.” Then she looked down at the tears on the bar, And she pulled up a bar stool and said “I hope you don’t mind, I couldn’t help notice how lonely you are.” [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse 2] So I told her the story of the love I had lost. She told me she had been there before, And I thanked her for listening as she started to leave. Then I stopped her and told her once more. [Chorus] Here’s a quarter, play a song on the jukebox. Make it a fast one, I don’t like them slow. The slow songs are sad songs that make me remember An old lover that I used to know. [Instrumental Interlude] [Chorus] Here’s a quarter, play a song on the jukebox. Make it a fast one, I don’t like them slow. The slow songs are sad songs that make me remember An old lover that I used to know.
