I was sittin' alone in Jackson

Wonder whisperin' in my head

Out of the night comes an anthem

Strangest vision yet

She said, "Hey boy, what you doing?

Think I'm gonna run you in"

Well, all of a sudden was I thinking

She's up and gone again

Lord, take me out of Jackson

Devil on my trail

Take me out of Jackson

Got no one to pay my bail

I don't wanna go to jail, whoo

Met this little lady in Jackson

She wanted a one-night stand

I said, "Hey there, little lady

You know that I'm your man"

I was out to know it trouble for my life

After that deed was done, I found out she's the sheriff's wife

Lord, take me out of Jackson

Devil on my trail

Take me out of Jackson

Got no one to pay my bail

I don't wanna go to jail, whoo

Yeah, take me out of Jackson

Got no one to pay my bail

I don't wanna go to jail
