Back to Jacksonville

I look around, I know this town It's a real familiar place I look at you and you feel it too It's written all over your face A few miles to go and we both know That we haven't got long Well there ain't no doubt, my visas running out And soon I will be gone So please don't take me back to Jacksonville Take me somewhere where the skies will shine our way The sun is shining but darling it all just seems so gray And this nostalgia is so fake to me And my memories have forsaken me and The thought of leaving renders me still So please don't take me back to Jacksonville I picture summer days, with the sun ablaze In that dried up old beach town But these dusty shores and these local flaws They no longer need me around My two bed home - me, you and Greg all stoned The number 904 Yes my old white car and Lynches bar They're a part of me no more So please don't take me back to Jacksonville Take me somewhere where the skies will shine our way The sun is shining but darling it all just seems so grey This nostalgia is so fake to me And my memories have forsaken me and The thought of leaving you renders me still So please don't take me back Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooooooh Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooooooh Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooooooh Ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooooooh Please don't take me back to Jacksonville Take me somewhere where the skies will shine our way The sun is shining but darling it all just seems so gray This nostalgia is so fake to me And my memories have forsaken me and The thought of leaving you renders me still So please Don't take me back to Jacksonville Well here we are, the airport isn't far I guess I'm flying home You look me in the eye and you start to cry And say, "You can't make it on your own" We will feel the pain of that English rain But we'll make it through And I'll be soaking wet, but you can bet That I'll be thinking of you
