Don't Rock The Jukebox

Alan Jackson, Roger Murrah, Keith Stegall

"I got the idea for this song from a little incident that happened on the road
a few years ago when me and my band, The Strayhorns, were playing this little
truck stop lounge up in Virginia called Geraldine's. We'd been there for four
or five nights playing those dance sets. It'd been a long night, so I took a
break and walked over to the jukebox. Roger, my bass player, was already over there reading the records. I leaned up on the corner of it and one of the legs was broken off - the jukebox was kind of wobbling around.
Roger looked over at me and said..."

(Chorus)

Don't rock the jukebox
I wanna hear some Jones
'Cause my heart ain't ready
For the Rolling Stones
I don't feel like rockin'
Since my baby's gone
So don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song

Before you drop that quarter
Keep one thing in mind
You got a heartbroke hillbilly
Standing here in line
I've been down and lonely
Ever since she left
Before you punch that number
Could I make one request

(Chorus)

I ain't got nothin'
Against rock and roll
But when your heart's been broken
You need a song that's slow
There ain't nothin' like a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Before you spend your money baby
Play a song for me

(Chorus)

Don't rock the jukebox
Play me a country song
