Band: Whiskeytown Song: Jacksonville Skyline Written by Ryan Adams. 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# Abm E The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends F# Abm 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# Abm E The soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends F# Abm 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# Abm E I ended up a soldier on the weekend F# Abm E Looking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find F# Abm E Somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket F# Abm E Shoot it with my capgun just to make it E F# B Seem like stars
