"Jukebox Charley" lyrics

"Jukebox Charley"
(originally by Johnny Paycheck)

Hello, Joe, the same as usual
I'm feeling low, but a little more so than usual
I wanna play that jukebox and hear that song
That tells me how I feel since baby's gone

Jukebox Charley that's my name
Yes, I'm well known throughout the honky tonk crowd
Oh you're right, Joe, it's a crying shame
But when I start drinking I start thinking
And wear my hurt real proud

One more drink, Joe, then I gotta go home
I don't know why, I'll just sit and cry the whole night long
But I'll be back again, Joe, tomorrow night
And we'll hear about baby who didn't treat me right

Jukebox Charley, yeah, that's my name
Yes, I'm well known throughout the honky tonk crowd
Oh, you're right, Joe, it's a crying shame
But when I start drinking I start thinking
And wear my hurt real proud
