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 All kinds of people make this world that's what makes the jukebox play
