Lyrics:
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
