Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We were all down at Margie's bar
Tellin' stories if we had one
Someone fired the ol' jukebox up
The song, it sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflictin'
And all at once, he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him
[Verse 2]
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
He said it played a sad song, it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a .45
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
[Verse 3]
Bubba ain't never been accused of bein' mentally stable
So we did not draw an easy breath
'Til he laid that Colt on the table
He hung his head 'til the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of Margie's
They told him, "Don't you play dumb with us, son
You know damn well what the charge is"
[Verse 4]
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Said it played a sad song, it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a .45
For he shot the jukebox last night
[Verse 5]
Well, the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
He shook his head and said, "Bubba boy
You was always a dense one"
A reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claimin'
Bubba hollered out "Reckless, hell
I hit just where I was aimin'"
[Verse 6]
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Said it played a sad song, it made him cry
Went to his truck and got a .45
Well, he shot the jukebox
Stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
[Verse 7]
Well, he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
It was a justifiable homicide
[Verse 8]
Bubba shot the jukebox
Stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
