I Heard The Jukebox Playing

You said that you'd be happy with a baby on your knees
But here I sat with him in my arms and you're slippin' around on me
You thought that you were being wise when you called me on the phone
And you said that you had been delayed but you'll soon be coming home
I knew that you've been cheatin' cause you stayed away so long
And I heard the jukebox playing when you called me on the phone
[ steel - fiddle ]
That couldn't have been no radio cause it had a honky tonk sound
And the same old song kept comin' and a goin' and he kept shoppin' around
When I heard the people laughing I knew there must be something wrong
For every touch too late to be delayed for I could see the break of dawn
I knew that you've been cheatin'...
