The Jukebox As She Turned by Nic Jones Lyrics

Now all the boys down at Smokey's Bar they could easily understand
How Judy left without a word, but not without a man
That old routine that she had going was like the sun so sure
That by surprise just may not rise but it always has before
And I still remember what was on the jukebox as she turned:
The dobro part out of Cheating Heart. She never has returned

She snapped the little plated latch and she closed her pocket book
And then paying for what she had drunk, she gave all us boys a look
And something in that little glance sent creeps throughout the room
No-one stared or even dared to breathe or even move
And I still remember what was on the jukebox as she turned:
The dobro part out of Cheating Heart. She never has returned

I cannot say just what others thought, ah, but I can likely guess
Well they were probably scared of where, just where, she'd take what we'd confessed
And I still remember what was on the jukebox as she turned:
The dobro part out of Cheating Heart. She never has returned

So now that good old gang down at Smokey's Bar they've just about busted up
With no-one here left to drink our tears or to fill out empty cup
And I still remember what was on the jukebox as she turned:
The dobro part out of Cheating Heart. She never has returned
