Lyrics
THE JONES BOX
W:Larry M Clark,BMI P:Ellemsee Music, BMI #16501035 larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
VERSE 1
Here I sit again tonight, the moon outside is bright,
But deep inside my heart the shadows fall
Barkeep, open up your till, and break this dollar bill,
Let me feed that old machine there by the wall
CHORUS
Here goes another quarter in the Jones box,
I call it that because George is all I ever play
Whenever I feel blue, he always gets me through, Sharing my heartache with a song that never rocks
So here goes another quarter in the Jones box
VERSE 2
After work, this old bar scene
has become my life's routine,
And I'll be here till closing around 2
There's a peace quarters bring
in the songs I hear George sing,
Seems he knows how I feel about you
BRIDGE
George must've lived the feelings that I feel,
his heartaches in a song seems so real
No matter what life hands me after this,
He'll always be my psychiatrist
REPEAT CHORUS
