An empty wall stares back at me where our picture used to hang.
A canvas void of images that once defined this man.
A picture tells a thousand words. I guess that'd be a start
For what began a fairy tale ends with a broken heart.
Though no one's here to hear it, the words will still ring true
as I compose this message here in this lonely room.
The silence is unbroken except for my guitar,
but someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar.
Chorus:
Someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar
or some country AM* station while you're driving in your car.
I may be home alone tonight just wondering where you are,
but someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar.
3rd verse:
It's good to know there's still a place my story can be heard
A tavern round the corner where they'll hang on every word.
A honky-tonk just out of town where folks still sip their beer
and drop those quarters in the slot while holding back the tears.
Chorus
Someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar
or some country AM station while you're driving in your car.
I may be home alone tonight, just wondering where you are,
but someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar.
Yes someday I'll tell my story on a jukebox in a bar.
* - If the artist feels using the line "AM country station" will hurt airplay on FM or XM radio, a slight alteration in phrasing to "or on some country station" is a suggested substitute. There should also be room for specific call letters to personalize it for certain stations. E.g. "or on W-I-V-K while you're driving in your car".
