Jacksonville Skyline

Verse 1: 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 Verse 2: Well 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 The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends I saw the pretty women as I walked through town Verse 3 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
