Parody of Jackson by Johnny Cash (G. Rogers/E. Weeler), Bexhill Music Corp. (ASCAP)/Quarter Music Inc. (ASCAP)
New lyrics by Cledus T. judd and Chris Clark, La-Po Music (BMI)/Music Genesis (ASCAP)

Well, I start runnin' a fever
Every time he opens his mouth
She's been gawkin' at Jackson
Ever since his first song came out
Oh, she loves Alan Jackson
And his pretty blonde hair

Oh, I love Alan Jackson

I ain't got a prayer

Well, he tried dressin' like Jackson

Belt buckles, boots, and a hat
She said,
"Sorry hon, that won't help you none
Because you're just too dang fat."

Oh, I hate Alan Jackson
She sleeps with a piece of his coat

Oh, I love Alan Jackson

'Cause of them songs he wrote

Well, I went backstage at his concert
I got on his bus somehow

That big talkin' man and his little five piece band
Just taught her what I didn't know how
Gosh, I hate Alan Jackson

Now I'm his openin' act
Oh, I love Alan Jackson

She's never comin' back
...She loves you man!

Oh, I start runnin' a fever
Every time he opens his mouth
She's been gawkin' at Jackson
Ever since his first song came out
Oh, she loves Alan Jackson
Makes me want to cuss

(Ha!) Oh, he hates Alan Jackson

Think I'll blow up his bus

Yeah,
Someday I'll Rock His Jukebox!

No You're not!

Ha! Might hit him with a Tall, Tall, Tree!

Well, he just might hit you back!

Well, I tell you what!
I'll show him The Real World!
He'll think Real World when they find him way down yonder in the bottom of the Chattahoochie!

Oh yeah! He just might run ya over with his Mercury!

I tell ya what, tell him to meet me somewhere!

Hey Hoss, meet him at Midnight In Montgomery!

Wanted, my life back!

Who Says You Can't Have It All?





Alan Jackson.

Overall Meaning

In Cledus T. Judd's "Jackson," the singer is in a love triangle with a woman who is enamored with country singer Alan Jackson. The singer starts to run a fever every time the woman talks about Jackson and is even jealous of Jackson's blonde hair. He tries dressing like Jackson with belt buckles, boots, and a hat but is told that he is too overweight. The singer's frustration with Jackson builds throughout the song as he sings about how much he hates Jackson and how the woman sleeps with a piece of Jackson's coat.


The climax of the song comes when the singer goes backstage at one of Jackson's concerts and ends up on his bus with Jackson and his band. The experience changes the singer's mind about Jackson, and he ends up admiring and even loving him. The woman, however, has moved on, leaving the singer behind. The song is a humorous take on the common country music theme of love and heartbreak and uses parody to comment on fan obsession and the intense competition that can exist within the music industry.
