Content

The song uses a jukebox as a metaphor for the memories within the narrator's mind. It is composed in the key of B-flat major with a moderate tempo and 4/4 time signature.

Critical reception

An uncredited review in Stereo Review magazine of Pass It On Down described "Jukebox in My Mind" as "a fine song in the pure honky-tonk mold...which lead singer Randy Owen delivers in his best Merle Haggard syntax. The tune is vastly different from anything else the band has recorded". In 1991, the Academy of Country Music nominated the song for Single of the Year.
