Stoned at the Jukebox
Stoned Reflections: Love, Loss, and the Healing Power of Music
Lyrics
As long as I can keep a lot a friends around me
Expressing the importance of having a supportive circle of friends.
Oh, it helps to keep a worried mind occupied
Using distractions, like friends, to keep a troubled mind occupied.
I do alright till dark of night surrounds me
Managing well until the darkness of night triggers thoughts of a lost love.
And then I think of her and then I cry
Reflecting on the pain of the past relationship, leading to tears.
Lord, there's a cold heart gone and I'm stoned at the jukebox
Describing a sense of emotional numbness, feeling detached and unresponsive.
Playin' I cant help it if I'm still in love with you
Playing a song that expresses inability to control lingering feelings for the ex-partner.
'Cause that's the kind of songs it takes to get all at ol' hurtin' out
Recognizing the therapeutic power of sad songs to release emotional pain.
And Lord, I love that hurtin' music, 'cause I am hurtin', too
Expressing a personal connection to the sorrowful music due to current emotional distress.
I been runnin' up and down ol' interstate 65
Referencing travel on Interstate 65, possibly seeking solace or escape from emotional turmoil.
I loved in Nashville, Tennessee falutin' how I tried
Recalling failed attempts to find love in Nashville, acknowledging efforts made.
Now Im busted stone flat down in Springhill
Describing a difficult situation in Springhill, possibly emphasizing rock bottom.
I got nothin' but time and the bottles to kill
Highlighting a sense of emptiness with only time and alcohol as companions.
And I never thought I could ever feel like that
Expressing surprise at the depth of emotional pain experienced.
Oh Lord, there's a cold heart gone and I'm stoned at the jukebox
Reiterating the emotional numbness and using the jukebox as a form of escape.
Playin' I cant help it if I'm still in love with you
Playing a song that acknowledges the inability to move on from a past love.
'Cause that's the kind of songs it takes to get all at ol' hurtin' out
Recognizing the therapeutic value of sorrowful songs in healing emotional wounds.
And Lord, I love that hurtin' music, 'cause I am hurtin', too
Reaffirming a personal connection to the hurting music due to ongoing emotional pain.
