Lyrics
Streets of Jackson
by: Ronald Humphrey and B K Williamson © 8/7/2015
Well I'm on the streets of Jackson
hopin' to clear my mind
Got on a bus in Dallas
headed on down the line
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
to see what I can find
Tired of the same ol' story
You've heard it a million times
The blues were takin' over
Gotta leave 'em all far behind
Oh yeah (oh yeah)
Down in the southern sunshine
Chorus:
Well I'm on the streets of Jackson
Oh no...
an' I can't go home
Can't face her reaction
Oh no...
I know she's not alone
When it's summer time in Texas
It'll set you right on fire
Don't let your lover catch ya
in the heat of your desire
Oh no (oh no)
When you know that she's a liar
Gonna head on to the ocean
Swim out beneath the waves
Still haunted by devotion
An' the fever of my rage
Oh no (oh no)
Move on an' turn the page
Chorus: =======
