Jacksonville Skyline (Live In Copenhagen)
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
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
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
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
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
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
