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