Jenny - Steve Taylor[00:00:01]

On a Saturday night [00:00:06]

All the girls run free[00:00:07]

Singing "Bury me not on the lone Prairie"[00:00:10]

But where do you go[00:00:15]

When you finish broken-hearted [00:00:17]

Back to the dust [00:00:21]

Where you started[00:00:22]

Jenny cut her teeth in a midwest shack[00:00:24]

As a shantytown girl [00:00:26]

On the wrong end of the tracks[00:00:28]

Her mama taught her everything[00:00:30]

She'd need to get along[00:00:31]

And her Sunday School teacher[00:00:32]

Taught her right and wrong[00:00:34]

Raised to be respectable[00:00:36]

But born to be poor[00:00:37]

It was all she'd ever known[00:00:39]

But she figured there was more[00:00:40]

When she came of age [00:00:42]

Jenny made herself a vow[00:00:43]

"I'm gonna get out and I don't care how"[00:00:45]

It appeared every Autumn on the courthouse lawn[00:00:54]

And the leaves never fell 'til the carnival was gone[00:00:57]

Michael was a barker for an arcade ride[00:01:00]

With a smooth-talk tongue[00:01:03]

And a wandering eye[00:01:04]

"Get your tickets here for the Halls O'Mirrors maze[00:01:06]

If you can't get out [00:01:09]

I know a couple ways"[00:01:11]

He caught Jenny's eye but her thoughts looked down[00:01:12]

All she wanted was a ticket going out of that town[00:01:15]

How how I wanna bury you[00:01:20]

How bury you and run away done away[00:01:23]

How how I wanna bury your memory[00:01:26]

Why don't you let me be [00:01:31]

Michael stole a kiss then he whispered at last[00:01:38]

"You're a little old-fashioned [00:01:41]

So forget about your past[00:01:43]

These Bible belt folks think living is a sin[00:01:44]

So they all start dying from the day they're born again"[00:01:47]

And there atop the Ferris wheel [00:01:50]

The colors were a blur[00:01:52]

The morning [00:01:53]

Said he loved her but she wasn't really sure[00:01:54]

He made her promise not to leave[00:01:56]

Until he came to get her[00:01:58]

She promised him[00:02:00]

But she should have known better[00:02:00]

She cried she cried[00:02:03]

How how I wanna bury you[00:02:04]

How bury you and run away done away[00:02:07]

How how I wanna bury your memory[00:02:10]

Why don't you let me be [00:02:15]

On a train stowaway[00:02:28]

Jesus loves you still[00:02:31]

And your mama wants you home[00:02:33]

But oh bridges burn[00:02:34]

When you carry your shame[00:02:37]

And you think you can't return[00:02:39]

How how I wanna bury you[00:02:42]

How bury you and run away done away[00:02:45]

How how I wanna bury your memory[00:02:48]

When they finally found[00:02:59]

Her body on a cold dog day[00:02:59]

It was in a cattle car buried in the hay[00:03:02]

A note in the pocket of her calico dress[00:03:05]

Said "I'm guilty as sin but I can't confess"[00:03:08]

Once you know the truth you can hide it on a shelf[00:03:11]

But unless you bring it down[00:03:14]

Live with yourself[00:03:16]

In her right hand Jenny held the Bible of her mother[00:03:18]

Jenny had a pistol in the other[00:03:23]

On a Saturday night all the girls run free[00:03:39]

Singing "bury me not on the lone prairie"[00:03:44]

But where do you go[00:03:49]

When you finish broken-hearted [00:03:50]

Back to the dust where you started[00:03:54]
