There's a jukebox side of this story

Sister don't get me wrong

Broken hearts just linger

Here in a country song

Some codger's droppin' quarters

Pushin' button rightin' wrongs

Then he waltzes back to his barstool

And blames it on the cold one

Then in a flame tries to entertain

The last nerve that's come undone

Walkin' on a hot wire

Fightin' fire with fire

Blame it on the cold one

There's a jukebox side of this story

Little sister don't get me wrong

He's goin' home

But not alone

And he'll blame it on the cold one

Then in a flame tries to entertain

The last nerve that's come undone

Walkin' on a hot wire

Fightin' fire with fire

Blame it on the cold one

Hey you sweet bartender

Open up a bottle of fun

He'll pay a high price

For the one on ice

And blame it on the cold one

He'll pay a high price

For the one on ice

And blame it on the cold one

Blame it on the cold one
