lyrics

if you think all is lost here in jacksonville, i've got a little story to tell you
right across the street
there's a cute couple i think you'd like to meet
this is their sotyr i think it's kidn of sweet

they met on the fourth of july
down there in riverside
while i played a little tune nearby

she was wearing short shorts
and he was wearing his old beat up converse shoes

he said wouldjn't you like to go for a couple of beers
and she said 'why not' i'd love a cold one

so they got down to it, they danced.
they discussed things like-their future romance.
and their favorite beatles song.
how whiskey was their choice of drink,
and people in sandles make them sick
it was the beginning of it all

they worked out a plan, exchanged numbers
he kissed her on the hand, and she said
'i hope to see you again i had a great time'
he called her the next day, and took her to a bbq
where she got introduced to the whole crew

and they laughed and they danced
and they talked about, how rare it is to meet somebody
that you, connect with without even trying.
they spent the whole night together,
and they made love for their first time ever
underneath jacksonville's starry skies

now that is their story short and sweet.
it's helped me to realize, that everything
in jacksonville isn't just a pack of lies
there's hope if we're willing to stick with it
and you can meet someone who doesn't make you sick
and share the good times while we still have them

and you can laugh, you can talk, you can dance
you can even start a new romance
all here in jacksonville.

Jemibook came to be one day late in 2006 when Jem realized that it's easier to pick up a toy ukulele at a wal-mart and make your own band then wait around for people's schedules to work out together.
