Jacksonville Skyline |
Well the banks of the river run through my hometown |
Born on the dirt roads, and I scraped my knees |
Well they paved the roads eventually |
With neon signs and car dealerships and diners |
The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends |
I saw the pretty women as I walked through town |
I moved away soon as I turned sixteen |
Figured I was old enough to go and work a job |
Well I floated down main street. |
Pools of carlights |
Overcame me wishin' I was still back home |
Jacksonville’s a city with a hopeless streetlight |
Seems like you’re lucky if it ever changes red to green |
I was born in an abundance of inherited sadness |
With 50 cent picture frames bought at a five and dime |
I ended up a soldier on the weekend |
Looking for a vacancy I wasn’t able to find |
Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket |
Shoot it with my capgun just to make it Seem like stars |
