Jackson was still in high school when country singer Hank Thompson heard her sing on an Oklahoma City radio show and asked her to record with his band in 1954. She dated Elvis Presley, who encouraged her to step away from the country-tinged gospel she had been performing since childhood and try her hand at rock and roll. She developed her own distinctive voice and performed in a variety of styles, from folksy traditional tunes to country twang and high yodels to throaty, suggestive ballads. She was a prolific singer of songs with wry lyrics such as "Fujiyama Mama," which contained many references to the World War II bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; ironically, it became a #1 hit in Japan. Her biggest hit was 1959's "Let's Have a Party."
Jackson achieved great and continuing success throughout Europe, Asia, and Australia, but has never found the same level of fame in her native United States. She toured with rock and roll pioneers such as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly. She has been nominated for two Grammys, and has been awarded the Oklahoma Native Daughter Award. She has been inducted into the Oklahoma Country Music Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the International Hall of Fame, the International Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, and the German Country Music Hall of Fame, and in 2009 was finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an Early Influence.
A born-again Christian, Jackson and her husband/manager Wendell Goodman abandoned rock and roll in 1971 and spent the next 25 years performing gospel in churches.
In 1996, Jackson was invited by alt-country singer Rosie Flores to duet with her on an upcoming album. The two were so pleased with the results that Jackson joined Flores on a handful of promotional club dates which were soon extended into a five-week North American tour. Jackson, plesantly surprised to discover that she and her songs were known by a generation of rockabilly fans her grandchildren's age, soon assembled her own band and returned to clubs and festivals, where she continues to perform.
In recent years Jackson has recorded with such artists as The Cramps, Lee Rocker, Dave Alvin, and Elvis Costello. 2006 saw the release of a new Jackson album, I Remember Elvis.
In 2009, it was announced that Jackson would start work on new recordings with Jack White. The resulting album, The Party Ain't Over, was released on January 25, 2011. It included a cover of the Bob Dylan rockabilly song, "Thunder on the Mountain" and the Amy Winehouse song "You Know I'm No Good". On January 20, 2011, she performed with Jack White on The Late Show With David Letterman and again on January 25, 2011, on Conan.
The Gin Don't Care
Wanda Jackson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Unless you crave danger or you're crazy cause this gun don't care who it shoots
You better take your hands off my baby or they're gonna bury you in your boots
Keep what I'm saying for I ain't fooling and this gun don't care who it shoots
This old gun of mine has no conscience shows no favors as never caught the tree
So it's all up to you now pay attention cause this gun don't care who it shoots
And let's hope that you'll never cross my vision
'Cause this gun don't care who it shoots
This old gun of mine...
No this gun don't care who it shoots
The lyrics to Wanda Jackson's song "The Gin Don't Care" are ones of warning and danger. The singer is addressing someone who is touching her "baby" (presumably her romantic partner) in a way that she doesn't like, and she's telling them to stop. She warns that if they don't, they could end up getting shot, and the gun won't care who it hits. The singer repeatedly emphasizes that the gun is not something to mess with, and that it doesn't play favorites - anyone who crosses her will face the consequences. The language is straightforward and direct, making it clear that the singer means business.
The song can be interpreted as a commentary on the importance of protecting those we love, and the lengths we may be willing to go to in order to do so. It also reflects the idea that actions have consequences, and people should think carefully about the risks they take. The phrase "this gun don't care who it shoots" is repeated several times in the song, emphasizing the fact that the singer is not playing games - if someone crosses her, they will face the consequences.

I've got some money in my pocket
Got some trouble on my tail
I can hear the dives a-knocking
Guess I'm heading off the rails
Singing ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh-ooh-ooh
I've got some new best friends forever
See, I met 'em at the bar
Well the whiskey goes down better
When they don't know who you are
Singing ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh gonna feel this in the morning
Ooh 'cause I'm going hard tonight
So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'm not staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
Yeah
We're in the bathroom getting chatty
There's a line out in the hall
Tryin'to be my Sugar Daddy
Getting' handsy in the stall
Singin'-ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh ooh ooh
You like my gin n' tonic kisses
'Cause you know they taste so sweet
And I know you've got your missus
But there ain't no one like me
Talking about you-ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh ooh ooh
Ooh gonna feel this in the morning
Ooh 'cause I'm going hard tonight
So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'mnot staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
Well
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
I don't wanna
So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'm not staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
Well
Ooh
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
