I Heard The Juke Box Playing

You said that you'd be happy

With a baby on your knee

But here I sat with him in my arms

An' you're slippin' around on me

You thought that you were being wise

When you called me on the phone

An' you said that you had been delayed

But you'd soon be comin' home

I knew that you'd been cheatin'

'Cause you stayed away so long

And I heard the jukebox playing

When you called me on the phone

That couldn't have been the radio

'Cause it had that honky tonk sound

An' the same old song kept comin' an' a goin'

And the beat kept shufflin' around

When I heard the people laughing

I knew there must be somethin' wrong

For it was much too late to be delayed

For I could see the break of dawn

I knew that you'd been cheatin'

'Cause you stayed away so long

And I heard the jukebox playing

When you called me on the phone
