Lyrics
Jacksonville
©2014 Greg Lambert
Trouble came last night
I could cut and run
Or stay and fight
Trouble came my way
Straight from her job making license plates
In the Sunshine State
Trouble at my door
In the dress she wore
The night before
Trouble came to town
On a greyhound bus
For another round
For another round
Chorus
She laughed, said are you in
If you play this game
You gotta show some skin
You want to leave but you never will
You'd miss the smell of coffee and the paper mill
At the Last Resort Motel in Jacksonville
Bridge
A broken neon sign
The steady hum of a power line
A silhouette of a girl I knew
With nothing left to lose
Trouble came last night
I could cut and run
Or stay and fight
Trouble came around
Gonna shake things up
In a Southern town
In this Southern town
Chorus
