You're bound to meet a sailor in Jacoma
The bars downtown full of displaced boatmen
Eight thousand clicks from a fair-weather moment
Their reveries all salt water stained
Jacoma hosts the broken down
Hope on tap for the rusted crown
Dust you off and get you home bound
Just a detour on life's interstate
Fill my heart Jacoma
Wrap your arms in Jacoma
It's your backyard
It's my passageway
Jacoma we all escape
You'll sit next to a steeler in Jacoma
Traded calloused sturdy hands for a high school diploma
And he's got a baby and a woman
In a town where he can't show his pretty face
Jacoma is home to the happily wed
Those that meet in a secret bed
The names and the bands they have shed
All tucked safely away
Steal my heart Jacoma
Wrap your arms in Jacoma
It's your backyard
It's my passageway
Jacoma we all escape
When the signs are dead ends and your faith's run out
The music has stopped on your Jeopardy count down
The blind will take your hand and you'll see the way
Jacoma opens her gates
Jacoma you lead the way
Fill my heart Jacoma
Wrap your arms in Jacoma
It's your backyard
It's my passageway
Jacoma we all escape
Oo yeah
