Well, came in here just to have a beer and
to pass a little time and try and sort out
some things that were weighing
heavy on my mind.
He said the beer, well that I can get you,
but as far as advice, well I'm just the bartender
here so here's your change in dimes.
He said, I've been behind this bar for 30 years,
and I guess I've seen it all.
And the stools have always
been full of fools like you.
Yeah, I've seen more than I care to recall.
But the tips are good, and I can't complain,
because I'm just a working man.
So if you don't mind, tell it to the jukebox,
she always understands.
You can tell it to the jukebox in the corner,
or one dime at a time, or three plays for
I love you a thousand
ways and born to lose
And don't forget if I'd left it up to you
Or the statue of a foe
Who let love slip through his hands
You can tell it to the jukebox
He always understands
He said each tune tells a story
And they're all about three minutes long
Their melodies are simple,
but it's the words that make a country song.
They can heal a broken heart,
or they can break it right in two.
Depending on what buttons you push
But bro, that's up to you
You can tell it to the jukebox in the corner
Or one dime at a time
Or three plays for a quarter I'll love you
a thousand ways and born to lose
And don't forget if I'd left it up to you
Or the statue of a fool
Who let love slip through his hands
You can tell it to the jukebox
She always understands
Or the statue of a fool
Let love slip through his hands
You can tell her to the jukebox
She always understands
you
