Lyrics Mr. Jones - The Mavericks
(Raul
Malo)
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
Mr.
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
Now
there's
nothing
left
inside,
Mr.
Jones
Chorus
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
'Cause
there′s
nothing
left
inside,
Mr.
Jones
Repeat
chorus
I′m
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,
Mr.
Jones
No
there's
nothing
left
inside,
Mr.
Jones
