Tom: G G We were all down at Margie's bar G Telling stories if we had one G Someone fired the old jukebox up G The song sure was a sad one G A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose G >From the pain the song was inflicting G And all at once he jumped to his feet G Just like somebody kicked him CHORUS: G D G Bubba shot the juke box last night D C G Said it played a sad song it made him cry G D C Went to his truck and got a forty five G D G Bubba shot the juke box last night key change G# Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentality stable G# So we did not draw an easy breathe G# until he laid that colt on the table G# He hung his head till the cops showed up G# They dragged him right out of Margie's G# Told him "Don't play dumb with us, son" G# "Know damn well what the charge is."
