Dime At A Time
Del Reeves · Other Songs - Del Reeves
That's why I'm here tonight I've got time to kill
And I can tell my story about twenty times
Two dollars in the jukebox one dime at a time
Two dollars in the jukebox a dime at a time
Play the same old song about a love gone wrong till closing time
Two dollars oughta do me if you'll buy the wine
And I'll put in the jukebox one dime at a time
And I'll put in the jukebox one dime at a time
