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