I'll Never Play Jacksonville Again

Two young girls were swept down the culverts in the rain
 St. Petersburg was flooded again
 I reached my hand out for them but I watched them slip away
 And I had to get up to Jacksonville that day
 I don't need anyone to remind me
 I don't get the big picture
 I don't need anybody to find me
 Hangin' from a lighting fixture and
 I'll never play Jacksonville again
 I'll never get on that southbound aeroplane
 They gave me a ticket pointed me south
 Gave me five hundred bucks to shut my mouth
 I'll never play Jacksonville
 I'll never have that weird thrill
 I'll never play Jacksonville again, again
 The road was like a river, the fields were like the sea
 The thunder clouds were closin' in on me
 I gunned that motor onward up route 1-95
 Checked my pulse, yep, still alive
 I don't need anyone to remind me
 To take my hand out of a fire
 I don't need anybody to find me
 Tied up with piano wiring
 I'll never play Jacksonville again
 I'll never get on that southbound aeroplane
 They gave me a ticket pointed me south
 Gave me five hundred bucks to just shut your mouth
 I'll never play Jacksonville
 I'll never have that weird thrill
 I'll never play Jacksonville again, again
 They put me on at the milk bar and said, "Hey, good luck, kid
 Here's your Jagermeister, here's half a lid"
 Put the past behind you, it's over, pay your bill
 This is where it ends now, Jacksonville
 I don't need anyone to remind me
 I'm on the end of a skewer
 I don't need anybody to find me
 Floatin' around in the sewer
 I'll never play Jacksonville again
 I'll never get on that southbound aeroplane
 They gave me a ticket pointed me south
 Gave me five hundred bucks to shut my mouth
 I'll never play Jacksonville
 I'll never have that weird thrill
 I'll never play Jacksonville again, yeah, yeah, yeah
 I'll never play Jacksonville
 Never, never, never play Jacksonville
 No, I'll never, no, I'll never
 No, I'll never play Jacksonville
 No, I'll never, no, I'll never
 No, I'll never play Jacksonville again, again
