Hey there! Let me tell you about this fantastic duet, “Jackson,” performed by the legendary George Strait and the incredible Martina McBride. This song is a gem that takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of a passionate relationship, all set against the backdrop of a place called Jackson.
The original “Jackson” was written by Billy Edd Wheeler and Jerry Leiber and has been covered by many artists, but George and Martina bring a unique flair to it. Their voices blend so beautifully, it’s like a perfect mix of sweet and spicy, capturing the essence of a couple’s fiery love and the challenges they face.
The song kicks off with George and Martina trading lines, painting a vivid picture of a couple who’s seen it all but isn’t afraid to face more together. You can almost feel the heat of their arguments and the depth of their connection. It’s that raw, authentic energy that makes “Jackson” so relatable.
What makes this version of “Jackson” special is the chemistry between George Strait and Martina McBride. George’s smooth, warm vocals paired with Martina’s powerful, emotive delivery create a dynamic that’s both thrilling and comforting. It’s like listening to two old friends who know each other inside out, singing about the ups and downs of love.
Musically, the song has this lively, toe-tapping beat that instantly lifts your spirits. The melody is catchy, and the instrumentation, featuring guitars and a steady rhythm section, gives it that classic country feel with a modern twist.
“Jackson” is more than just a song; it’s a story that resonates with anyone who’s ever been in a relationship. It’s about the adventure of love, the disagreements, and the inevitable makeup moments that bring you closer. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to grab your partner, hit the dance floor, and just let loose.

Lyrics
Well, look who’s here
Hey, Martina
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We’ve been talkin’ ’bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I’m goin’ to Jackson
I’m gonna mess around
Yeah, I’m goin’ to Jackson
Look out, Jackson town
Well, go on down to Jackson
Go ahead and wreck your health
Go play your hand, you big-talkin’ man
Make a big fool of yourself
Yeah, go to Jackson
Go comb your hair
(Honey, I’m gonna snowball Jackson)
See if I care
When I breeze into that city
People gonna stoop and bow
All them women gonna make me
Teach ’em what they don’t know how
I’m goin’ to Jackson
You turn-a loose-a my coat
Yeah, I’m goin’ to Jackson
“Goodbye, ” that’s all she wrote
But they’ll laugh at you in Jackson
And I’ll be dancin’ on a Pony Keg
They’ll lead you ’round town like a scalded hound
With your tail up between your legs
Yeah, go to Jackson
You big-talkin’ man
And I’ll be waitin’ in Jackson
Behind my Japan Fan
Well now, we got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We’ve been talkin’ ’bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
I’m goin’ to Jackson
And that’s a fact
Yeah, we’re goin’ to Jackson
Ain’t never comin’ back
We got married in a fever
Hotter than a pepper sprout
We been talkin’ ’bout Jackson
Ever since the fire went out
Martina, everybody!
What a crowd
