Three Minutes At A Time
Recorded by Gene Watson
Written by Tim Mensey and Keith Stegall
With a pocket full of quarters and time on my hands
That old jukebox keeps calling my name
One day it might break me but I ll pay the price
For an evening with your memory again
[Chorus]
Three minutes at a time I get lost in each song
It s heartache in rhyme but it helps me hang on
I drop a quarter in the jukebox and for a while you re still mine
I m getting by three minutes at a time
Old Joe in the corner sits there every night
He s heard my story he knows every line
My misery s in good company as long as I m here
In this barroom the past comes alive
[Chorus]
Three minutes at a time I get lost in each song
It s heartache in rhyme but it helps me hang on
I drop a quarter in the jukebox and for a while you re still mine
I m getting by three minutes at a time
I drop a quarter in the jukebox and for a while you re still mine
I m getting by three minutes at a time
