We were all down at Margie's bar
tellin' stories if we had one.
Someone fired the old jukebox.

The song. it sure was a sad one.
And all at once

he jumped to his feet

just like somebody

kicked him.
Bubba shot the jukebox

last night.

He said it played a sad song

that made him Cry.
Went to his truck and got a
forty-five.
Bubba shot the jukebox

last night.
Bubba ain't never been accused
of being mentally stable.
So we did not draw an easy breath

'til he laid that Colt on the table.
He hung his head
till the cops showed up.
They dragged him right out

of Margie's.
Bubba shot the jukebox

last night.

He said it played a sad song

that made him Cry.
Went to his truck and got a
forty-five.
Bubba shot the jukebox

last night.
When the sheriff arrived

with his bathrobc on.
the confrontation was a

tense one.
A reckless discharge of a gun.
that's what the officers are claimin'.
Bubba hollered. Ah. reckless hell!

I hit just where I was aimin'.
He went to his truck and got a

forty-five.
Ah. he shot the jukebox.

stopped it in one shot.
Bubba shot the jukebox

last night.
He could not tell

right from wrong

through the teardrops

in his eyes.
Beyond the shadow
of a doubt.

it was a

justifiable homicide.
Bubba shot the jukebox.
he stopped it with one shot.
Bubba shot the jukebox
last night.
