Justin Townes Earle - Halfway To Jackson Lyrics

Justin Townes Earle Lyrics

"Halfway To Jackson"

Well I got this woman
She don't treat me right
She just stay out drinkin'
'Til the mornin' light

Say now bye bye baby
Wherever you may be
Oh, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

So I went to the station
And I got on the train
Told the conductor
"Get this thing a'movin' man!"

Say now bye bye baby
Wherever you may be
Oh, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

So now here I go
Down these railroad tracks
They lead down to Memphis
And ain't comin' back

Say now bye bye baby
Wherever you may be
Well, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

Say, with you, honey
I can finally relax
Well, it sure feels good
To not have you up on my back

Say now, bye bye baby
Wherever you may be
Well, you got them other men
I don't know what you need with me

I say now bye bye baby
Wherever you are
Oh, and I'm halfway to Jackson mama
And I ain't missin' you so far
