Jackson
Feverish Love in Jackson: Unraveling Johnny Cash's Passionate Journey
Lyrics
We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
We got married impulsively, with intense passion.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
We've been discussing Jackson since the excitement faded.
I'm goin' to Jackson, I'm gonna mess around
Expressing intention to go to Jackson and have some indiscretions.
Yeah, I'm goin' to Jackson
Reiterating the decision to go to Jackson.
Look out Jackson town
Warning or challenging the town of Jackson.
Well, go on down to Jackson, go ahead and wreck your health
Suggesting that going to Jackson may harm one's well-being.
Go play your hand you big-talkin' man and make a big fool of yourself
Encouraging a boastful person to gamble and embarrass themselves.
Yeah, go to Jackson, go comb your hair
Mockingly advising to tidy up before going to Jackson.
Honey, I'm gonna snowball Jackson
Planning to cause trouble or stir up trouble in Jackson.
See if I care
Indicating indifference towards the consequences in Jackson.
When I breeze into that city, people gonna stoop and bow (ha)
Describing the anticipation of receiving attention and respect in Jackson.
All them women gonna make me teach 'em what they don't know how
Claiming the ability to teach women things they are unaware of.
I'm goin' to Jackson, you turn-a loose-a my coat
Expressing confidence and readiness to face challenges in Jackson.
'Cause I'm goin' to Jackson
Reaffirming the decision to go to Jackson.
Goodbye, that's all she wrote
Declaring the end of the relationship or conversation.
But they'll laugh at you in Jackson and I'll be dancin' on a Pony Keg
Predicting ridicule in Jackson and personal enjoyment at a local establishment.
They'll lead you 'round town like the scalded hound
Describing a scenario of public humiliation and embarrassment.
With your tail tucked between your legs
Imagining someone retreating in shame and defeat.
Yeah, go to Jackson, you big-talkin' man
Encouraging the boastful person to face the consequences in Jackson.
And I'll be waitin' in Jackson, behind my Jaypan fan
Waiting with anticipation in Jackson, possibly sarcastically.
Well now, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper Sprout
Repeating the description of the impulsive marriage.
We've been talkin' 'bout Jackson, ever since the fire went out
Reiterating ongoing discussions about Jackson after the initial excitement.
I'm goin' to Jackson and that's a fact
Emphasizing the certainty of going to Jackson.
Yeah, we're goin' to Jackson, ain't never comin' back
Confirming the decision to go to Jackson and stating the intention not to return.
Well, we got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout
Recalling the impulsive marriage and bringing up Jackson again.
Honey we've been talkin' 'bout Jackson
Reaffirming the ongoing discussions about Jackson.
