Bubba Shot the Jukebox

[Verse 1] We were all down at Margie's bar Tellin' stories if we had one Someone fired the old jukebox up The song it sure was a sad one A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose From the pain the song was inflictin' And all at once he jumped to his feet Just like somebody kicked him [Chorus] Bubba shot the jukebox last night Said it played a sad song made him cry Went to his truck and got a forty five And Bubba shot the jukebox last night [Verse 2] Well Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentally stable So we did not draw an easy breath 'Til he laid that Colt on the table He hung his head till the cops showed up They dragged him right out of Margie's Told him "Don't you play dumb with us, son" "You know damn well what the charge is." [Chorus] Bubba shot the jukebox last night Said it played a sad song made him cry Went to his truck and got a forty five Well, he shot the jukebox last night [Verse 3] When the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on The confrontation was a tense one He shook his head and said, "Bubba Boy," "You was always a dense one" A reckless discharge of a gun That's what the officers are claiming Bubba hollered out, "Reckless! Hell!" "I hit just where I was aimin'" [Chorus] Bubba shot the jukebox last night Said it played a sad song made him cry Went to his truck and got a forty five Well, he shot the jukebox Stopped it with one shot Bubba shot the jukebox last night [Bridge] Well, he could not tell right from wrong Through the teardrops in his eyes Beyond a shadow of a doubt It was a justifiable homicide [Outro] Bubba shot the jukebox Stopped it with one shot Bubba shot the jukebox last night
