American Aquarium - Bubba Shot the Jukebox
We were all down at Margie's bar
Tellin' stories if we had one
Someone fired the old jukebox up
The song it sure was a sad one
A teardrop rolled down Bubba's nose
From the pain the song was inflictin'
And all at once he jumped to his feet
Just like somebody kicked him
★ Chorus ★
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Said it played a sad song made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
And Bubba shot the jukebox last night
★ Verse 2 ★
Well Bubba ain't never been accused of being mentally stable
So we did not draw an easy breath
'Til he laid that Colt on the table
He hung his head till the cops showed up
They dragged him right out of Margie's
Told him "Don't you play dumb with us, son"
"You know damn well what the charge is."
★ Chorus ★
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Said it played a sad song made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Well, he shot the jukebox last night
★ Verse 3 ★
When the sheriff arrived with his bathrobe on
The confrontation was a tense one
He shook his head and said, "Bubba Boy,"
"You was always a dense one"
A reckless discharge of a gun
That's what the officers are claiming
Bubba hollered out, "Reckless! Hell!"
"I hit just where I was aimin'"
★ Chorus ★
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
Said it played a sad song made him cry
Went to his truck and got a forty five
Well, he shot the jukebox
Stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night
★ Bridge ★
Well, he could not tell right from wrong
Through the teardrops in his eyes
Beyond a shadow of a doubt
It was a justifiable homicide
★ Outro ★
Bubba shot the jukebox
Stopped it with one shot
Bubba shot the jukebox last night

Biography
Arriving a year later, their fourth record, Small Town Hymns, further established their penchant for gritty, Springsteen -ian anthems. 2012 proved to be a banner year for American Aquarium with the release of both their first concert album Live in Raleigh and their fifth (and most critically acclaimed) studio album, the Jason Isbell -produced Burn.Flicker.Die. Originally intended to be the group’s swan song, the album instead ushered in a very successful period. Reinvigorated, they collaborated with producer Brad Cook (Megafaun ) on their more alt-rock-inspired 2015 follow-up Wolves. A concert album, Live at Terminal West, appeared at the end of the year, documenting a show in Atlanta. About a year later, Barham released a stark, reflective solo album titled Rockingham, earning positive reviews for it. The band continued to play out, and told fans they’d be recording during 2017, but early in the year, Barham announced that the lineup had dissolved, and that after a solo tour, he would begin recording sessions with a different lineup of American Aquarium.
