"Jackson" lyrics

Jackson

We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson
I'm gonna mess around
Yeah, I'm going to Jackson
Look out Jackson town

Well, you go on down to Jackson
Go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand you big talking man
And make a big fool of yourself
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson
But go comb your hair
I'm gonna snowball Jackson
Yeah, go ahead and see if I care

Oh, when I breeze into that city
The people gonna stoop and bow
All them Jackson women
They're gonna teach me what they don't know how
I'm going to Jackson
I turn loose to my coat
Yeah, I'm going to Jackson
Goodbye, that's all she wrote
Bye-bye, baby

They'll be laughing at you in Jackson
And I'll be dancing on the pony keg
They'll lead you round the town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Yeah, yeah, go to Jackson
You big talking man
And I'll be waiting in Jackson
Behind my Japan fan

We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I'm going to Jackson
That's a natural fact
Yeah, we're going to Jackson
Ain't never coming back

We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
We're going to Jackson
That's a natural fact
Yeah, we're going to Jackson
Ain't never coming back

Yeah, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talking about Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
We're going to Jackson
