Back To Jackson

God don't make me go back to Jackson

The sky turns black every time I do

Heaven don't like the way I'm living

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do

Stray dog on the side of the highway

He's got nothing left to lose

Soon he's going home to Jesus

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do

Baptized in the muddy water

My soul broke in like a weathered shoe

Can't you hear that choir singing

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do

I hopped a train just south of Memphis

And I found myself in Baton Rouge

I got out with my soul still burning

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do

I've seen men with covered faces

And I've seen the last of the chosen few

Last night I dreamed they crucified me

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do

God don't make me go back to Jackson

The sky turns black every time I do

Heaven don't like the way I'm living

God don't make me go back to Jackson the sky turns black every time I do
