Jacksonville Skyline

C Well the banks of the river run through my hometown C F Born on the dirt roads, and i scraped my knees C Well they paved the roads eventually C F With neon signs and car dealerships and diners G Am F The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends G Am F G C I saw the pretty women as I walked through town C Well I moved away soon as I turned sixteen C F Figured I was old enough to go and work a job C Well i floated down main street pools of carlights C F Overcame me wishin' I was still back home G Am F The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends G Am F G C I saw the pretty women as I walked through town C Jacksonville's a city with a hopeless streetlight C F Seems like you're lucky if it ever changes red to green C I was born in an abundance of inherited sadness C F With 50 cent picture frames bought at a five and dime G Am F I ended up a soldier on the weekend G Am F Looking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find G Am F Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket G Am F G C Shoot it with my capgun just to make it seem like stars
