Mr. Jones from Live: 8.21.09 by Justin Friello

They say Mr. Jones isn't doing so well
Well, I haven't seen him so long, I couldn't tell
He used to be my best friend, my old pal
I wonder what's happened since then, what's happened to him now

So, hey Mr. Jones
It's been a long, long time and I haven't seen you
Why don't you come around and talk, talk to me?

I remember some days back a here or two
We'd sit around and talk about what we knew
Those days, they were many, but know he has few
I must have missed something important, I wish I had been there, been there to see it

So, hey Mr. Jones
It's been a long, long time and I haven't seen you
Why don't you come around and talk, talk to me?

I have fond memories of sitting on park benched, talking about summer
I have hundreds of photographs hanging on my walls
I have shoeboxes filled with ticket stubs and postcards
I had a friend

So tell me where I can go to see him
So I can say sorry for taking so long
I found his picture in yesterday's paper
I hope it's not too late to tell you how I feel

So, hey Mr. Jones
It's been a long, long time and I should have come to see you
I want you to know that lately you've been talking to me

Hey, Mr. Jones
I hope it's not to late to tell you I've missed you
I want you to know you were always a good friend to me
