Gonna Buy Me a Jukebox

Charlie Walker


I'm gonna buy me a jukebox and put it in the den
And decorate the walls all barroom style
I'm gonna hire a bartender and invite all your friends
Then maybe you'll stay home once in a while

I've tried so hard to change you but you keep drifting back
To all the things you used to do on the wrong side of track
So I've made up my mind right now here's what I'm gonna do
Gonna fill our house with things that bring happiness to you

I'm gonna buy me a jukebox...

If you can't beat 'em join 'em you've heard that said before
And I guess I'd better join you cause I keep comin' back for more
And I'd rather take you like you are and lose to someone new
I guess it's love what makes me do the silly things I do

I'm gonna buy me a jukebox...
Then maybe you'll stay home once in a while
