Spending my time, spending my money. Feedin' this habit with hardcore country. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I can't stand to hear the music stop, I keep droppin' my quarters in the slot. I play every song from A to Z. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. Some are dancing fools, Some are hooked on booze, Some get their fix on an old bar stool. A hand full of quarters is all I need, It don't take much to satisfy me. 'Cause i'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. Spending my time, spending my money. Feedin' this habit with hardcore country. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I can't stand to hear the music stop, I keep droppin' my quarters in the slot. I play every song from A to Z. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I lose control, I can't say no. I play all things, That are really slow. I like the sound that a jukebox makes, It's an old habit that I can't break. 'Cause I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. Spending my time, spending my money. Feedin' this habit with hardcore country. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I can't stand to hear the music stop, I keep droppin' my quarters in the slot. I play every song from A to Z. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. Spending my time, spending my money. Feedin' this habit with hardcore country. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie. I'm just an ol' jukebox junkie.
