From the pain the song was inflicting
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
Went to his truck and got a forty five
So we did not draw an easy breathe
Shook his head and said, "Bubba Boy
He hung his head till the cops showed up
Well, he shot the juke box, stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the juke box last night
"Reckless discharge of a gun"
The confrontation was a tense one
Bubba shot the juke box last night
You know damn well what the charge is"
Said it played a sad song, it made him cry
Someone fired the old jukebox up
Well, he shot the juke box last night
Bubba shot the juke box last night
Until he laid that Colt on the table
You was always a dense one"
Well, he could not tell right from wrong
It was a justifiable homicide
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Bubba hollered out, "Reckless, hell
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Went to his truck and got a forty five
I hit just where I was aiming"
Bubba shot the juke box, stopped it with one shot
That's what the officers are claimin'
Went to his truck and got a forty five
The song it sure was a sad one
Well, the Sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
They dragged him right out of Margie's
Just like somebody kicked him
Through the tear drops in his eyes
Told him, "Don't you play dumb with us, son
Bubba ain't never been accused
Of bein' mentally stable
Said it played a sad song, it made him cry
Said it played a sad song, it made him cry
