Jackson

Jackson is famously performed by Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. It tells the tale of a couple heading to the city of Jackson to rekindle their romance, though it’s more broadly interpreted as a song about freedom and escape. It was first recorded by Billy Edd Wheeler and popularized by Johnny and June.
