Hey Mister, That`s Me Up On The Jukebox
Hey mister, that`s me up on the jukebox
I`m the one that`s singing this sad song
Well, I`ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Southern California that`s as blue as the boy can be
Blue as the deep blue sea
Won`t you listen to me now
I need your golden gated cities like a hole in the head
Just like a hole in the head, I`m free
Hey mister, that`s me up on the jukebox
I`m the one that`s singing this sad song
Well, I`ll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
I do believe I`m headed home
Hey mister, can`t you see that I`m as dry as a bone
I think I`ll spend some time alone
Yes, unless you`ve found a way of squeezing water from a stone
Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can
Let the springtime begin
Let the boy become a man
I done wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song
I done been this lonesome picker a little too long
Hey mister, that`s me up on the jukebox
I`m the one that`s singing this sad song
Well, I`ll cry everytime that you`re up and slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Well, I`ve been spreading myself thin these days
Don`t you know
Good-bye
