If the Jukebox Took Teardrops

If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that old car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every curl on a honky tonk girl
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me

How long can a man keep goin'
Like every day's his 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 old car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every curl on a honky tonk girl
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 old car in the parking lot
Drove home automatically
If every curl on a honky tonk girl
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like me

If every curl on a honky-tonk girl
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
