A DIME AT A TIME
(Jerry Chestnut / D. Bruce)

Norma Jean, Ernest Tubb - 1968


My whole life's saving's a two dollar bill
That's why I'm here tonight I've got time to kill
And I can tell my story about twenty times
With two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time

Two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time
Play that same old song about a love gone wrong till closing time
Two dollars oughtah do me if you'll buy the wine
And I'll put in the jukebox a dime at a time

Pardon me mister mind if I sit down 
A misery likes company and I believe I've found
Somebody just as lonely don't believe I'm wrong
If you had a place to go to you'd've done been gone

Two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time
Play the same old song about a love gone wrong till closing time
Two dollars oughta do me if you'll buy the wine
And I'll put in the jukebox a dime at a time

And I'll put in the jukebox a dime at a time
