Tonight at night we get married my friends all say it's a shame and disgrace
  And he's loved every woman in Jackson oh but Jackson ain't a very big place
  Tomorrow we'll go walkin' I count each one with a tear on her face
  Then I'll know just how many think I'm lucky cause Jackson ain't a very big place
  Jackson is a mighty small town where the gossips and the rumors go round
  But the gossips are the ones he turned down and Jackson ain't a very big town
  [ steel ]
  Jackson is a mighty small town.
