Back To Jackson - Jason Eady Lyrics
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
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
