If the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automaticallyIf every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like meHow 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 pastIf the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automaticallyIf every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like meWouldn'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 dimeIf the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
If that ol' car in the parking lot
Drove home automaticallyIf every night 'neath the honky tonk lights
Didn't start those memories
Wouldn't it be a wonderful world
For somebody just like meIf the jukebox took teardrops
And the whiskey was free
