Jacksonville

Gonna get up early in the morning gonna get down to the train
Gonna head out south on the 6:15 a gonna start living again
There's a place on the st john river that i know will fill the bill
When the sun goes down on me tonight i'll be home in jacksonville
Home in jacksonville

Spent two years in detroit city tryin' to save up a little bit of dough
The pay was good but a homesick feelin' kept this poor boy feeling low
I couldn't forget that gal i left her face is haunting me still
But she'll be waiting at the coast line station when i get to jacksonville
Get to jacksonville

In jacksonville the sun shines warmer and the women know how to treat you
Detroit ain't got no long white beaches where the women run down to meet you
All they do in detroit city is put wheels on the cold road steel
When the sun goes down on me tonight i'll be home in jacksonville
Home in jacksonville
