The Jukebox Knows

Broken plates and drywall scars

How'd we get to where we are

Something's wrong and that ain't nothing new

Heaven knows it's a sin

There ain't no place that we haven't been

It's just a case of lovers' déjà vu

It's part of life

It's part of love

We may fight, but soon enough

It'll pass and that's the way it goes

I figured I'd just come in here

Settle down and have a beer

Listen to the tales the jukebox knows

All kinds of stories of lovin' and hurtin' and cheatin'

The devil and the angels of the Lord, all competing for your soul

And all for a quarter a spin

There's rhythms that'll send your heart racing

And fables about the world you're facing

And a cold mug so you can drink it all in

It's part of life

It's part of love

We may fight, but soon enough

It'll pass and that's the way it goes

I wish that you'd just come in here

Settle down and have a beer

Listen to the tales the jukebox knows
