Story Behind The Song
My wife is a major Sinatra fan (even though we both grew up in the 70's). After years of writing country and pop-rock, this was my attempt at a Frank-esque saloon song.

Lyrics
Misery loves company
But when the chips are down
And old Sinatra song is still
The best company I've found
"One For My Baby" quietly playing
I'm on a barstool silently swaying
She walked out this morning and left just us three
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me
Three in the morning, no time for sleeping
Dropping in quarters, drinking and weeping
The tables are empty but I've got company
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me
He sings all my heartaches
As each little part breaks
And right from the start takes all of my pain and misery
So we're keeping company, Frank and me
Morning is breaking, I'm finished drinking
Drown one last sorrow, step outside blinking
But I'll save a few quarters for tonight it will be
The Jukebox, Frankie and Me
