Barry Manilow - Sweetwater Jones 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

oh oh Sweetwater Jones

what used to be Jimmy Jones

now he's known as Sweetwater Jones

now he's known as Sweetwater Jones
