Hey Mister, That's Me Up On The Jukebox Lyrics - Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon - James Taylor

Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox 

I'm the one that's singing this sad song 

Well I cry every time that you slip in one more dime 

And let the boy singing this sad one, one more time 

Southern California, that's as blue as the boy can be 

Blue as the deep blue sea, won't you listen to me now 

I need your golden gated cities like a hole in the head 

Just like a hole in the head, I'm free 

Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox 

I'm the one that's singing this sad song 

Well I cry every time that you slip in one more dime 

And let the boy singing this sad one, one more time 

I do believe I'm headed home 

Hey mister can't you see that I'm as dry as a bone 

I think I'll spend some time alone 

Yes, unless you found a way of squeezing water from a stone 

Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can 

Let the springtime begin, let the boy become a man 

I've done wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song 

I've done been this lonesome picker a little too long 

Hey mister that's me up on the jukebox 

I'm the one that's singing this sad song 

Well I cry every time that you are up and slip in one more dime 

And let the boy singing this sad one, one more time 

Well I've been spreading myself in these days 

Don't you know 

Good bye
