Letra de Jacksonville Skyline
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 dinersThe soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends I saw the pretty women as I walked through townWell, 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 homeThe soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends I saw the pretty women as I walked through townWell, 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 dimeI 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
