lyrics
One night we played a love song
Yeah, we played it all night long
One night there was a jukebox
And the next day it was gone
We danced one night after your shift
We were both lit up with beer
You locked the door and we walked back to your house
‘Cause there was still so much to bare
We got too high and let the cat out
You kept playing the Grateful Dead
I guess I really like that one song
Still I just crawled on off to bed
One night Dale tried to play some Springsteen
But that jukebox said no way
Everybody wants to hear that same damn song
But you’re not gonna hear that song today
Well, you know that he played another
And then he played a couple more
Dale always plays the best songs
Yeah, but that was all before
One night he played a love song
Yeah, and we all sang along
One night there was a jukebox
And the next day it was gone
Well, the coffee wasn’t that great at Sewickly’s
And now we cannot Overlook
How they kept giving us all the business
While all the buildings shook
You could go see Jim down at Biddy’s
Or Bob at the donut shop
Or the Spyrit of the Satyricon
But now everything is shooting up
You could get nine plays for a dollar
Sometimes it wouldn’t charge you at all
You could get two plays for a quarter
If you had no one to call
One day we all get pulled out
Yeah, there are no better odds
And there'll be another jukebox
Up at the Bar Of The Gods
One night I wrote a love song
Yeah, I wrote it all night long
About how once there was a jukebox
And the next day it was gone
One night we played a love song
Yeah, we played it all night long
One night there was a jukebox...
