they say you’re dangerous, and dirty
but deep inside I know I’ve found the truth
oh, there’s just no place like my city
the sun it shines upon your broken glass
filling your sidewalks all with diamonds
then nighttime comes, a perfect kind of peace
in midst of engines’ roars and sirens
you’re beautiful, oh, beautiful
you’re always home to me
you’re beautiful, so beautiful
my Jackson, Mississippi
i have been around this whole big world
and i have seen a lot of places
no matter where I find myself, I’ve found
i cannot forget your faces
your unassuming manner stole my heart
your quiet boisterous disregard
your sunsets falling over railroad tracks
your streets are lovely
your streets are ours
you’re beautiful, oh, beautiful
you’re always home to me
you’re beautiful, so beautiful
my Jackson, Mississippi
a lifetime of memories flood my mind
when they speak your name
there’s nowhere else in the universe
that could make me feel the same
