I want a drink, and here's a twenty
And bring my change in dimes
There's a song on the jukebox
I want to hear a thousand times
It used to be our love song
We played it here before
So let's be sure it's playing
When she walks through that door

You see, I had her but then I lost her
But I got one more chance tonight
And if she hears it playing
Maybe things will turn out right
So waitress, take a handful
I've just got to hear that song
And I'll wait here for my baby
If it takes me all night long

I'm sure it's nowhere near
The greatest love song in the world
But I hope she still remembers
That I wrote it for my girl
Here she comes, and Lord she's smiling
Cause she just heard that song
And I just got a feeling
That tonight we're going home

I want a drink, and here's a twenty
And bring my change in dimes
There's a song on the jukebox
I want to hear a thousand times
