(Michael Henderson/Mark Irwin)
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol` car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night `neath the honky tonk lights
Didn`t start those memories
Wouldn`t it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
How long can a girl keep goin`
Like every day`s the last
I`ve paid off the rent and the government
Maybe I could pay off the past
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol` car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night `neath the honky tonk lights
Didn`t start those memories
Wouldn`t it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
Wouldn`t I be on easy street
Livin` this life of mine
I could keep right on till the hurt`s all gone
And it wouldn`t cost me a dime
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol` car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every night `neath the honky tonk lights
Didn`t start those memories
Wouldn`t it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me
If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
