Jacksonville Skyline Songtext

Jacksonville Skyline Songtext

Banks of the river run through my hometown
As a boy I ran 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


Well, I moved away soon as I turned 16
Figured I was old enough to go to work a job
Well, I floated down main street pools of carlights
Overcame me, wishin′ I was still back home

The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends
I saw the pretty women as I walked through town

Well, Jacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight
Seems like you′re lucky if it ever change from red to green
Well, I was born in an abundance of inherited sadness
And 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
