Lyrics
Jacksonville
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I'll pack up my shit in the back of my car
In the middle of the night, leave without goodbye
Howl like a dog at the Moon, who's afraid of the light
Blood in my mouth, anger in my eyes
Maybe I'll find a quiet place to die alone
Maybe I'm scared 'cause I finally realized
That your hometown doesn't want you around
The people who were strangers are suddenly impressed
Oh, I know now that if you step out
No one's gonna doubt you like your family and your friends
They'll believe in you when it's easy to
Maybe I'll send back a note with the words of this song
And a picture of Spain or somewhere else I've been
Build a little shack on the coast overlooking the waves
On the edge of a cliff, keep it secret
Maybe I'll find a quiet place to die alone
Maybe I'm running 'cause I finally realized
That your hometown doesn't want you around
The people who were strangers are suddenly impressed
Oh, I know now that if you step out
No one's gonna doubt you like your family and your friends
They'll believe in you when it's easy to
So save your money, or piss it away
The bastard child and patron saint are opposites alike
When the return from where they came
You could hit the road or choose to stay
They'll probably hate you anyway
Just be the best you can, don't you dare make one mistake
'Cause if you do, your hometown won't want you around
The people at your shows are the ones you'll have to beg
Said I know now that when you step out
No one's gonna judge you like your family and your friends
They'll abandon you when it's convenient to
