A Quarter At A Time

I've been slidin' quarters down that jukebox since I slipped in here

You'd think there'd be one song to help this heartache disappear

By now I should be over her it was over long ago

But it's closin' time and I'm not even close

So mister please turn the lights back down

I can't leave here while she's still here on my mind

Give me change for one more ten then plug that jukebox in

I'll turn it up and let it wind 'til I'm down to my last dime

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

It's that time of night I feel no pain that's when it starts to hurt

So let me stay and play those sad old songs for all they're worth

'Cause I'm still under that spell and half out of my mind

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

So mister please turn the lights back down

I can't leave here while she's still here on my mind

Give me change for one more ten then plug that jukebox in

I'll turn it up and let it wind 'til I'm down to my last dime

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time

And I'll get over her a quarter at a time
