Lyrics

Jackamo Road

[Verse]

I'd like to buy you a cabin cruiser

And we could sail around with our time

I'd like to get you a southern mansion

And we could burn it down, down to the ground

But I'm movin' on down to Jackamo Road

Down my way through Georgia and all the points unknown

Yeah, I'm goin' to heaven, I'll come back to get you

Someday, someday, someday
