Phillip Bauer & Cindy Scarberry performing - Jackson

Phillip Bauer(as Johnny Cash) & Cindy Scarberry performing "Jackson" at the Centennial Rodeo Opry in OKC's Historic Stockyards City on the July 12th, 2008.

"Jackson" is a song written by Jerry Leiber and Billy Edd Wheeler about a married couple who find that the "fire" has gone out of their relationship. The song relates the desire of both partners to travel to a city named Jackson (possibly Jackson, Mississippi) where they each expect to be welcomed as someone far better suited to the city's lively night life than the other is.

Gaby Rodgers is frequently cited as co-author of "Jackson", because Leiber used his then-wife's name as a pseudonym in writing the song with Wheeler.

The song appeared on The Kingston Trio album Sunny Side!, released in 1963. Since the dialogue in this version is between father and son, the lyrics differ slightly from later recorded versions.

Johnny Cash and June Carter won a Grammy Award in 1968 for their recording of the song. Johnny Cash also sang it with Miss Piggy when he appeared on The Muppet Show. The song was performed by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon (playing Johnny Cash and June Carter) in the 2005 film Walk the Line.
