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# G#m E
the soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends
F# G#m 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# G#m E
the soldiers fill the hotels on the weekends
F# G#m 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# G#m E
i ended up a soldier on the weekend
F# G#m E
looking for a vacancy i wasn’t able to find
F# G#m E
somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket
F# G#m E
shoot it with my capgun just to make it
E F# B
seem like stars
