I'M Still Jonesin' For You

They say that time is supposed to be the best healer But she just stopped loving me today The jukebox is torture for this now lonely man With every old sad song it plays The bartender keeps serving me whiskey While I try to go cold turkey on you But it's a hard pill to swallow, and my heart feels hollow Cause I'm still Jonesin' for you I'm still Jonesin' for you And these speakers keep calling to me That steel guitar whine, gets me everytime And I'm still Jonesin' for you With my heartache and this pounding head I think I'd probably be better off dead Because of your leaving, I'm stuck her grieving And I'm still Jonesin' for you Never has an artist wrote feelings That explain just what I've been through I usually play E11, but that is the Hag And the Possums on B22 I'm still Jonesin' for you And this barstools become more like home It welcomes me in, with a beer and a gin And I'm still Jonesin' for you His songs speak straight to my heart And his words make me fight back a tear Still why you left me, isn't easy to see But it's slowly becoming more clear So go, if you feel, that you must But know that I'll still be right here If you should change your mind, I'll be easy to find Still Jonesin' for you my dear I'm still Jonesin' for you As this broken old heart tries to mend But if you come inside, I'll probably need a ride As I sit here Jonesin' for you I may never get over what you put me through I'll just be here Jonesin' for you Till I figure out just what to do....
