Lyrics

Went riding
Out into the country night
He left his phone still ringing
Ringing by the t.v.'s light

Goodbye to you new york city
Goodbye to everything it used to be
You sure can could look good emerald city
Oh but now you're just a drag on me

Goodbye to the ringing phone
Goodbye to the old grindstone
And what used to be jimmy jones
Now he's known as sweetwater jones

Sweetwater jones keep on going
Hey jonesee boy you're doing fine
Smiling a smile and knowing
That you're heading for a better time

Look at your face hey it's shining
Hey beaming like it never could
Look at your eyes hey you're crying
But you never thought you'd feel so good
Goodbye to the ringing phone

Good,good,goodbye to the old grindstone
What used to be jimmy jones
Now he's known as sweetwater jones
Ohhhh ohhh sweetwater jones
What used to be jimmy jones
Now he's known as sweetwater jones
Now he's known as sweetwater jones
