Don't Rock the Jukebox lyrics

I wanna tell you a little story about an incident that happened on the road a couple of years ago when me and my band strayed on. We were playing this little truck stop blow on “Open doors of Virginia”, place called Geraldine's. We’d been there for four or five nights, you know, playing those dance sets and it’d been a long night we took a break and walked over to the jukebox and Roger, my bass player, he was already over the raiding wreckage, you know, on the jukebox and I leaned upon a corner and one of his legs was broken off and the jukebox was kinda wobbling around, you know, Roger looked over at me and said:

Don't rock the jukebox

I wanna hear some Jones

‘Cause my heart ain't ready

For the Rolling Stones

I don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's gone

So don't rock the jukebox

Play me your country song

Before you drop that quarter

Keep one thing in mind

You got a heartbroke hillbilly

Standing here in line

I've been down and lonely

Ever since she left

Before you punch that number

Could I make one request

Don't rock the jukebox

I wanna hear some Jones

‘Cause my heart ain't ready

For the Rolling Stones

I don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's gone

So don't rock the jukebox

Play me your country song

I ain't got nothin'

Against rock & roll

But when your heart's been broken

You need a song that's slow

Ain't nothin' like a steel guitar

To drown a memory

Before you spend your money, babe

Play your song for me

And don't rock the jukebox

I wanna hear George Jones

‘Cause my heart ain't ready

For the Rolling Stones

I don't feel like rockin'

Since my baby's gone

So don't rock the jukebox

Play me your country song

You don't rock the jukebox

Play me your country song
