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
