 (Verse 1)
  This old town  ain't been the same,
  since this old boy’s been gone.
  Lord I still  got some good friends,
  but I feel so all alone.
  All I hear  is disco,
  see pretty boys with high heels on.
 (Verse 2)
  Well some people  sure hate me,
  and 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.
 (Verse 3)
  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.
 (Verse 4)
  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.
