Lyrics Love and Poetry - Mr Jones

The only reason I keep goin' on
Is maybe I can't live all alone
The only reason I'm tryin' to be free
Is just because life keeps haunting me

I'd like to sing and play all night long
With just my guitar and a glass
Make my thoughts and my tears go straight to rhyme
Make up a song at last

I wish my thoughts were only worth a dime
That I might change things soon
Like the words of the homeless drunken man
That I heard this afternoon

The only reason I keep goin' on
Is maybe I can't live all alone
The only reason I'm tryin' to be free
Is just because life keeps haunting me

Every scratch in my guitar makes me cry
Reminds me of the world outside
I would die if I lost that lonesome sound
That's why I'm tryin' to hide

Smell a flower and whistle a tune
Best things in life are free
Sorrow sometimes makes it all so clear
True love and poetry

The only reason I keep goin' on
Is maybe I can't live all alone
The only reason I'm tryin' to be free
Is just because life keeps haunting me

The only reason I keep goin' on
Is maybe I can't live all alone
The only reason I'm tryin' to be free
Is just because life keeps haunting me
