| Two young girls were swept down the culverts in the rain
|
| St. Petersburg was flooded again
|
| I reached my hand out for them but I watched them slip away
|
| And I had to get up to Jacksonville that day
|
| I don’t need anyone to remind me
|
| I don’t get the big picture
|
| I don’t need anybody to find me
|
| Hangin' from a lighting fixture and
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again
|
| I’ll never get on that southbound aeroplane
|
| They gave me a ticket pointed me south
|
| Gave me five hundred bucks to shut my mouth
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville
|
| I’ll never have that weird thrill
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again, again
|
| The road was like a river, the fields were like the sea
|
| The thunder clouds were closin' in on me
|
| I gunned that motor onward up route 1−95
|
| Checked my pulse, yep, still alive
|
| I don’t need anyone to remind me
|
| To take my hand out of a fire
|
| I don’t need anybody to find me
|
| Tied up with piano wiring
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again
|
| I’ll never get on that southbound aeroplane
|
| They gave me a ticket pointed me south
|
| Gave me five hundred bucks to just shut your mouth
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville
|
| I’ll never have that weird thrill
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again, again
|
| They put me on at the milk bar and said, «Hey, good luck, kid
|
| Here’s your Jagermeister, here’s half a lid»
|
| Put the past behind you, it’s over, pay your bill
|
| This is where it ends now, Jacksonville
|
| I don’t need anyone to remind me
|
| I’m on the end of a skewer
|
| I don’t need anybody to find me
|
| Floatin' around in the sewer
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again
|
| I’ll never get on that southbound aeroplane
|
| They gave me a ticket pointed me south
|
| Gave me five hundred bucks to shut my mouth
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville
|
| I’ll never have that weird thrill
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville again, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
| I’ll never play Jacksonville
|
| Never, never, never play Jacksonville
|
| No, I’ll never, no, I’ll never
|
| No, I’ll never play Jacksonville
|
| No, I’ll never, no, I’ll never
|
| No, I’ll never play Jacksonville again, again |
