When Jenny was a little girl she only dreamed of trains |
|
She never play with dolls or lacy kinds of things |
|
Jenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheep |
|
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep |
|
All she ever talked about was gettin' on the ride |
|
She was living in another time you could see it in her eyes |
|
And every day after school she'd head down to the track |
|
She was waitin' for the train that was never coming back |
|
Jenny dreamed of trains when the nighttime came |
|
Nobody knew how she made it come true Jenny dreamed of trains |
|
Depot's been boarded up the trains have turned to rust |
|
There hasn't been a train through here since the mill went bust |
|
No one believed her when she said she heard the train |
|
She was just a little girl acting kind of strange |
|
Jenny dreamed of trains... |
|
[ guitar - fiddle ] |
|
Jenny laid a penny on the track one day in God we trust and then she walked away |
|
The very next morning all she could find |
|
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime |
|
Jenny dreamed of trains... |
|
Jenny dreamed of trains... |
