Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

I don’t know the sound of my father’s voice

I don’t even know how he says my name

 But it plays out like song on a jukebox in a bar

 In the back of my head till it’s worrying machine

 And in the cotton fields by the house where I was born

The leaves burn like effigies of my kin

 And the trains run like snakes through the Pentecostal pines

Filled up with cotton and dime store gin

Chorus i

Jacksonville, how you burden in my soul

 How you hold all my dreams captive

Jacksonville, how you play with my mind

 How my heart goes bad

 Suffocating on the pines in Jacksonville
