I just spent my last nickel tryin' to drive my tears away
Tryin' to mend a broken heart that you once led astray
I know life is funny this old world is built that way
So many disappointments that's what makes the jukebox play

Every time I see your new love I bow my head and pray
That they always talk things over and understand each other's way
But sometimes it doesn't happen it's a fool like me who pays
He'll be alone in this old world that's
what makes the jukebox play
[ steel - fiddle ]
Some people seem so happy they're laughin' and gay
Love to them is just a word tomorrow's another day
My life would be so empty for my heart won't live that way
All kinds of people make this world that's
what makes the jukebox play
