Jacksonville Skyline (Live)

Banks of the river run through my hometown
Born 'round the dirt roads, and I scraped my knees
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 sixteen
Figured I was old enough to go to work a job
I wandered 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
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 unable to find
Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket
Shoot it with my capgun just to make it
Seem like stars
