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
