(Verse 1)

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.



(Verse 2)

G
  Well some people sure hate me,

and the police dog me ‘round.

C
  Well the only place I'm welcome,

G
  is on the west side of town

D     
  Lord I'm on their wanted posters,

G
  I can’t show my face in town.



(Verse 3)

G
  Jacksonville I love you,

but you don’t want me around.

C
  Jacksonville you raised me,

G
  and this is where I got my sound.

D
  Although I'm your outlaw,

G
  I still love my hometown, all around.



(Verse 4)

G
  This old town ain't been the same,

since your native sons been gone.

C        
  Lord I still got some old friends,

G
  but I am so all alone.

D
  All I hear is the disco,

G
  see pretty boys with high heels on.

D
  Well you can keep your disco,

N.C.                               G
 pretty boys with high heels on.
