Sweetwater jones
Went riding
Out in to the country night
He left his phone still ringing
Ringing by the t.v.'s light
Goodbye to you new york city
Goodbye to every thing it used to be
You sure can could look good
Emerald city
Oh but now your just a drag on me
Goodbye to the ringing phone
Goodbye to the old grindstone
And what use to be jimmy jones
Now they known as sweetwater jones
Sweetwater jones
Keep on going
Hey jonese boy your'll doing find
Smiling a smile and knowing
That your heading fore a better time
Look at your face
Hey its shinning
Hey beaming like it never could
Look at your eyes
Hey you crying
But you never thought you fell so good
Goodbye to the ringing phone
Good,good,goodbye to the old grindstone
What used to be jimmy jones
Now they known as sweetwater jones
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhh sweetwater jones
What use to be jimmy jones
Now they known as sweetwater jones
Now they known as sweetwater jones
