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
