It wasn't even in my plan
A week in the sun and some fun in the sand
I was really only passing through
It all began on ocean drive
Standin' in line for a burger and fries
Coincidently so were you
We took a quiet corner booth

Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still
Suddenly it's lookin' like I'm gonna
Kill a few more days in Jacksonville

I'm givin' up my walkin' shoes
While the wind and the waves wash away my blues
And you help me lose track of time
Rock and roll, your holdin' me
Rockin' in your arms by a rollin' sea
It was easy makin' up my mind
I can see forever in your eyes, your eyes

Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still
Suddenly it's lookin' like I'm gonna
Kill a few more days in Jacksonville

Didn't plan on hangin' out in Florida
Never was to good at standin still

I’m not afraid of the black man running
He’s got it right he’s got a better life coming
I don’t care what the captain said
I fold it right at the top of my head
I lost my sight and the state packs in
I follow my heart and it leads me right to Jackson

Oh Keller oh oh oh
She gave us a medal she gave us a map
Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh
If seeing is right, then look where you’re at

I’m not afraid of Nichol’s Park
I ride the train and I ride it after dark
I’m not afraid to get it right
I turn around and I give it one more try
I said things that I meant to say
The bandstand chairs and the Dewey Day parade
I go out to the golden age
The spirit is right and the spirit doesn’t change

Oh Keller oh oh oh
She gave us a mirror she gave us a map
Oh Canner Row, oh oh oh
If seeing is right then look where you’re at

Andrew Jackson, all I’m asking
Show us the wheel and give us the wine
Woohoo! Woohoo!
Raise the banner, Jackson hammer
Everyone goes to the capitol line
Woohoo! woohoo!
Colored preacher, nice to meet you!
The spirit is here and the spirit is fine!
Woohoo! Woohoo!
Education, ask the nation
You gave us our sight and the hearing is fine
Woohoo! woohoo!
Andrew Jackson all I’m asking
Give us the wheel and give us the wine

Slow down your mind
Fill the unknown spaces with truth and light
If you can find the time
Time seems so slow
Now we’re stuck here asking where did it go?
(And where do we come from?)
And what are we here for?

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

Summertime so sweet
Luxuries of childhood were on our feet
In the sun, sun, sun
So baby run, run, run
Baby run, run, run
Baby run, run, run
Games will be portrayed

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems we were fine
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly
The sky was blue and the night was all I wanted
Let me be your comet, I will fly

I’ve been to Jacksonville
I’ve been to Monterrey
I’ve felt a mother's love
I’ve seen the colours change
I cried a million tears
I caused a million more
I’ve been to Jacksonville

There we were looking out some country window
And although we had our problems we were fine

It wasn't even in my plan
A week in the sun and some fun in the sand

It all began on ocean drive
