Don't Rock the Jukebox
Healing Heartbreak: Country Melodies to Mend the Soul
Lyrics
Don't rock the jukebox
Request not to disturb the jukebox
I want to hear some Jones
Expressing a preference for music by George Jones
'Cause my heart ain't ready
Emphasizing emotional unpreparedness for upbeat music
For the Rolling Stones
Not ready for Rolling Stones' music due to heartbreak
I don't feel like rockin'
Expressing a lack of desire for energetic music
Since my baby's gone
Feeling down since the lover's departure
So don't rock the jukebox
Reiteration of the plea not to disturb the jukebox
Play me a country song
Requesting a country song to match the mood
Before you drop that quarter
Before playing a song, a reminder to consider feelings
Keep one thing in mind
Addressing the person handling the jukebox
You got a heart-broke hillbilly
Describing oneself as a heartbroken hillbilly
Standing here in line
Indicating the emotional state while waiting in line
I've been down and lonely
Expressing feelings of loneliness and sadness
Ever since she left
Continued sadness since the departure of the lover
Before you punch that number
Before selecting a song, making a polite request
Could I make one request
Asking for consideration before making a song choice
Don't rock the jukebox
Repetition of the plea not to disturb the jukebox
I want to hear some Jones
Reiteration of the preference for George Jones' music
'Cause my heart ain't ready
Emphasizing emotional unpreparedness for energetic music
For the Rolling Stones
Reiterating the lack of readiness for Rolling Stones' music
I don't feel like rockin'
Reiterating the lack of desire for energetic music
Since my baby's gone
Continued feeling of melancholy since the lover's departure
So don't rock the jukebox
Repetition of the plea not to disturb the jukebox
Play me a country song
Reiteration of the request for a country song
I ain't got nothin'
Expressing a lack of possessions or emotional wealth
Against rock and roll
Acknowledging no personal bias against rock and roll
But when your heart's been broken
Recognizing the need for slow, emotional songs after heartbreak
You need a song that's slow
Highlighting the importance of a slow song after heartbreak
There ain't nothin' like a steel guitar
Expressing the emotional impact of a steel guitar
To drown a memory
Using music to cope with and overcome memories
Before you spend your money baby
Before spending money, a request for a specific type of song
Play a song for me
Asking the person handling the jukebox to play a song for the speaker
Don't rock the jukebox
Repetition of the plea not to disturb the jukebox
I want to hear some Jones
Reiteration of the preference for George Jones' music
'Cause my heart ain't ready
Emphasizing emotional unpreparedness for energetic music
For the Rolling Stones
Reiterating the lack of readiness for Rolling Stones' music
I don't feel like rockin'
Reiterating the lack of desire for energetic music
Since my baby's gone
Continued feeling of melancholy since the lover's departure
So don't rock the jukebox
Repetition of the plea not to disturb the jukebox
Play me a country song
Reiteration of the request for a country song
Yeah, don't rock the jukebox
Final plea not to disturb the jukebox
Play me a country song.
Reiteration of the request for a country song
