Jackson-Victoria Banks

It's a long way back to Jackson In a beat up Cadillac With a bible on the floorboard And a body in the back His eyes were blue, clear as a deep blue sea And they were married underneath a chestnut tree He held that bible in his hand Swore he'd always be her man Until the end, oh, 'til the end They had a little house down by the old mill creek She tried to cover up the bruises on her cheek He kept a pistol in the drawer No one asked what it was for But that was then, yeah that was then Now it's a long way back to Jackson In a beat up Cadillac With a bible on the floorboard And a body in the back Headlights on the highway Shining in the night The truth ain't always pretty And love ain't always right Some promises ain't broken Some vows won't come undone Til you see the smoke raisin' from the barrel of a gun On the night she disappeared, nobody heard a sound There was not a single clue left to be found You can ask but he won't tell Cause the anwser's hidden well Somewhere beside I-55 It's a long way back to Jackson In a up Cadillac With a bible on the floorboard And a body in the back Headlights on the highway Shining in the night The truth ani't always pretty And love ain't always right Some promises ain't broken Some vows won't come undone Til you see the smoke risin from the barrel of a gun There was never any crime, oh cause there was no proof But a big sister always knows the truth So when he gets home late tonight I swear to god I'll make things right I'll be waitin inside with a 45 Now it's a long way back to Jackson In a beat up Cadillac With a bible on the floorboard And body in the back Headlights on the highway Shining in the night The truth ain't always pretty And love ain't always right Some promises ain't broken Some vows won't come undone Til you see the smoke risin from the barrel of a gun.
