Jacksonville
[Verse 1]
Slow down your mind
Fill the unknown spaces
With truth and light
If you can find the time
Time seems so slow
Now we're stuck here asking
Where did it go? (and where do we come from?)
And what are we here for?
[Chorus]
But there we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
[Verse 2]
Summertime so sweet
Luxuries of childhood
Were on our feet
In the sun, sun, sun
So baby, run, run, run
Baby, run, run, run
Baby, run, run, run
Games will be portrayed
[Chorus]
But there we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
[Bridge]
I've been to Jacksonville
I've been to Monterrey
I've felt a mother's love
I've seen the colors change
I've cried a million tears
I've caused a million more
I've been to Jacksonville
[Outro]
There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems, we were fine
