The banks of the river run through my hometown |
| [00:21.14] |
As a boy, ran dirt roads, and I scraped my knees |
| [00:27.45] |
Well they paved the roads eventually |
| [00:34.64] |
With neon signs and car dealerships and diners |
| [00:41.41] |
The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends |
| [00:48.02] |
I saw the pretty women as I walked through town |
| [00:59.40] |
Well, I moved away soon as I turned sixteen |
| [01:06.38] |
Figured I was old enough to go and work a job |
| [01:12.64] |
Well I floated down main street, pools of car lights |
| [01:19.78] |
Overcame me, wishing I was still back home |
| [01:26.52] |
The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends |
| [01:33.32] |
I saw the pretty women as I walked through town |
| [01:44.75] |
Well, Jacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight |
| [01:51.84] |
Seems like you're lucky if it ever change from red to green |
| [01:58.11] |
I was born in an abundance of inherited sadness |
| [02:05.41] |
And .50 cent picture frames bought at a five and dime |
| [02:11.90] |
I ended up a soldier on the weekend |
| [02:19.20] |
Looking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find |
| [02:25.77] |
Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket |
| [02:32.62] |
Shoot it with my cap gun just to make it |
| [02:36.63] |
Seem like stars |
