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
