THERE AIN'T NO COUNTRY MUSIC ON THIS JUKEBOX
(Tom T. Hall)


Tom T. Hall&  Earl Scruggs - 1982





Well there ain't no country music on this jukebox
They've taken all them country songs away
There ain't no country music on this jukebox
Oh, I guess them boys and girls in Nashville ran outta somethin' to say

But I wish they'd come and listen to my stories
Oh, I bet they'd write a hundred country songs
There ain't no country music on this jukebox
And I've been a-huntin' country music all night long

(Instrumental Break)

I've had several wives and twice that many sweethearts
I've been up and down this road a million times
Oh, I've got a lotta stories that need singin'
I just need them boys and girls in Nashville to help me make 'em rhyme

I wish they'd come and listen to my stories
Oh, I bet they'd write a hundred country songs
There ain't no country music on this jukebox
I've been a-huntin' country music all night long

(Instrumental Break)

Well there ain't no country music on this jukebox
Them jukebox people don't know where it's at
There ain't no country music on this jukebox
Some of that doggone music seems to make my beer go flat

But I wish they'd come and listen to my stories
Oh, I bet they'd write a hundred country songs
There ain't no country music on this jukebox
I've been a-huntin' country music
And lookin' for George and Tammy
I been lookin' for Johnny and June
Been lookin' for Carl and Pearl
I've been a-huntin' for Lester and Earl
I've been a-huntin' country music all night long
