(Verse 1) Music thumping the beats are hitting strong He’s the one guy choosing, every single song Boots on the hardwood keeping perfect time Whole room dancing on the edge of the line Corner booth shadow with an evil grin Feeding all the quarters time and time again Every heartbreak in this town knows his name And every midnight song sounds the same (Pre-Chorus) One more whiskey, one more flame One more slow dance ending in shame Red neon cutting through the smoke He keeps the whole damn room hanging by a rope (Chorus) There’s a devil at the jukebox playing hearts on fire Turning bad decisions into small-town choirs Every girl spinning, every cowboy gone Dancing with the darkness to a country song One more quarter and the night goes wrong When the devil at the jukebox sings along (Verse 2) Black hat leaning like he owns the place Smoke and shadows hiding half his face Bartender whispers, “Don’t meet his eyes” But the lost keep drifting like moths to light Old dance floor shaking underneath their feet Bodies moving like a midnight fever dream Every song he plays pulls another one in Nobody notices where the missing ones went (Pre-Chorus) Bootheels pounding like a warning bell But nobody hears it under the rebel yell Red neon glowing like the gates below Still they keep on dancing like they don’t know (Chorus) There’s a devil at the jukebox playing hearts on fire Turning bad decisions into small-town choirs Every girl spinning, every cowboy gone Dancing with the darkness to a country song One more quarter and the night goes wrong When the devil at the jukebox sings along (Bridge) Three a.m. and the room turned cold Last call came but nobody went home Saw him smiling when the lights burned low Counting lonely hearts like poker chips in rows One by one they faded in the smoke Laughing while they disappeared slow Only thing left when the band quit playing Was an empty dance floor and the jukebox swaying (Breakdown Chorus) Still that devil at the jukebox calling out their names Pulling broken souls into his flame Every lost sinner trying to belong Dancing forever to his haunted songs (Outro) Music stopped but the record still spins He’s in the corner feeding quarters again Neon flickers… boots hit the floor And the crowd keeps coming through that old bar door Yeah they keep on dancing… Never knowing what they’re dancing for…
