Текст (слова) песни: Whiskeytown - Jacksonville Skyline
The 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 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 and work a job Well I floated down main street, pools of car lights Overcame me wishing 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 was unable to find Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket Shoot it with my cap gun just to make it Seem like stars
