lyrics

St. Willie’s jukebox
neon and gold
playing songs nobody ever heard
the singers came and went
but their songs were heaven-sent
and that jukebox
knows every word

St. Willie’s jukebox
in a corner of the sky
harmonies above and below
a chorus of stars
and sixteen bars
all full of people who know

So drain your glass
forget the past
stand a little taller
See your name
etched in the glass
hear your song
hear ‘em all sing along

St. Willie’s jukebox
the letters and the numbers
press any button and you’ll see
the words and the rhymes
and the difficult times
all written just the way they had to be

So drain your glass
and find your coat
you’ve got a long drive home
you can’t rest
on all you wrote
there’s more to do
you still got more in you

solo

So drain your glass
and find your coat
you’ve still got a long drive home
you can’t rest
on all you wrote
there’s more to do
more to do
