G
This old town ain't been the same,
since this old boy’s been gone.
         C
Lord I still got some good friends,
                    G
but I feel so all alone.
       D
All I hear is disco,
                                G
see pretty boys with high heels on.

Well some people sure hate me
An the police dog me round
Well the only place I'm welcome
Is on the west side of town
Lord I'm on their wanted posters
I can't show my face in town

Jacksonville, I love you
But you don't want me around
Jacksonville, you raised me
And this is where I got my sound
Although I'm your outlaw
I still love my hometown, all around

This old town ain't been the same
Since your native sons been gone
Lord, I still got some old friends
But I am so all alone
All I hear is the disco
See pretty boys with high heels on
Well you can keep your disco
Pretty boys with high heels on
