Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson, look out Jackson town
[Verse 2]
Well, go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health (I do what I please)
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man, make a big fool of yourself
Go on to Jackson, go comb your hair, or pick it or something
(I'm gonna snowball to Jackson) See if I care
[Verse 3]
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow (Hah)
I'm gonna get all them women, teach me what they don't know how
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose my coat
Well, I'm goin' to Jackson, "Goodbye," that's all she wrote
[Verse 4]
Well they'll laugh at you in Jackson, I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg (Just like last week)
They'll lead you 'round town like a scalded hound
With your tail tucked between your legs
Go on to Jackson, you big-talkin' man, and I'll be waiting in Jackson behind my Jay-pan fan
[Verse 5]
Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
We're goin' to Jackson, and that's a fact
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back
[Verse 6]
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
