Jacksonville

Songwriters: R. Thomas / C. Deveau
Lyrics: R. Thomas

I don't like
your weather
I don't care
for your cold
I don't like
the sound
of running ‘round
when it's twenty-five
below

I like my face
by the fireplace
I don't flourish
with a chill
so hush your mouth
I'm goin' South
down
to Jacksonville

In Jacksonville
the ladies
won't
leave a boy
alone
and the air
is sweet
along the beach
with the smell
of Coppertone

I don't play hockey
baby
I don't drink
no ice tea
don't take my dog
"Idideroddin"
and I don't
cross country ski
I weren't made
for the centigrade
I don't flourish
with a chill
so hush your mouth
I’m goin' South
down
to Jacksonville

In Jacksonville
the ladies
won't
leave a boy
alone
and the air
is sweet
along the beach
with the smell
of Coppertone

I don't scrape
frozen windshields
I don't need
a four wheel drive
don't wanna see
my breath
like cigarette smoke
when I step
outside

I don't wear
long underwear
and I hope
I never will
so hush your mouth
I'm a going South
down
to Jacksonville
hush your mouth
I'm going South
down
to Jacksonville

Solo

I don't play hockey
baby
I don't drink
no ice tea
don't take my dog
"Idideroddin"
and I don't
cross country ski
I like my face
by the fireplace
I don't flourish
with a chill
so hush your mouth
I'm goin' South
down
to Jacksonville
so hush your mouth
I'm goin' South
oh baby
down
to Jacksonville
