Karaoké Mr. Jones The Mavericks

I wanna go across the river to the house on oldway road

Where my life began and ended all the same

I remember Chris and Johnny childhood friends of mine who grew wise enough to learn to play the game

As I walked up to the front yard there were children playing there

And I thought someday this may be my home again

But how soon I learned my lesson

Through the windows they threw stones

And said there's nothing left inside Mister Jones

I went next door to ask the neighbor if they knew what happened here

To the place where all my memories remain

As they recalled and tried to answer

Tears rolled down their eyes

But the best reply they had was made in vain

Seems the folks that used to live there

Worked hard for all their means

But their means could never take them to an end

There was hope down in the city

Then a bank declined their loan

And now there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones

Can't you see that it's empty now and no one really cares

For even I must try to save my own

You should turn around and get back on that lonely oldway road

'Cos there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones

Can't you see that it's empty now and no one really cares

For even I must try to save my own

You should turn around and get back on that lonely oldway road

'Cos there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones

Going back across the river to see if I can find the place where life can start and end all the same

But no matter where I'm going it will dwell inside my bones

That there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones

I know there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones

No there's nothing left inside, Mister Jones
