[Verse 1]
Gonna get up early in the morning, gonna get down to the train
Gonna head out south on the 6-15, a-gonna start living again
There's a place on the St. John's River that I know will fill the bill
When the sun goes down on me tonight, I'll be home in Jacksonville
Home in Jacksonville
[Verse 2]
Spent two years in Detroit city, trying to save up a little bit of dough
The pay was good, but a homesick feeling kept this poor boy feeling low
I couldn't forget that gal I left, her face is haunting me still
But she'll be waiting at the coastline station when I get to Jacksonville
Get to Jacksonville
[Verse 3]
In Jacksonville, the sunshine's warmer and the women know how to treat ya
Detroit ain't got no long white beaches where the women run down to meet ya
All they do in Detroit city is put wheels on the cold road steel
When the sun goes down on me tonight, I'll be home in Jacksonville
Home in Jacksonville
