John Denver - Jenny Dreamed Of Trains Lyrics
This song was first released on the all aboard! album. it is the only album it has been released on.When jenny was a little girl, she only dreamed of trainsShe never played with dolls or lacy kinds of thingsJenny counted boxcars instead of counting sheepShe could go anywhere when she went to sleepAll she ever talked about was getting on to rideShe was living in another time you could see it in her eyesAnd every day after school shed head down to the trackWaiting for the train that was never coming backJenny dreamed of trainsWhen the nighttime cameNobody knew how she made it come trueJenny dreamed of trainsThe depots been boarded up, the rails have turned to rustThere hasnt been a train through here since the mill went bustNo one believed her when she said she heard the trainSaid she was just a little girl acting kind of strangeJenny dreamed of trainsWhen the nighttime cameNobody knew how she made it come trueJenny dreamed of trainsJenny laid a penny on the track one dayIn God we trust she walked awayThe very next morning all she could findWas a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dimeJenny dreamed of trainsWhen the nighttime cameNobody knew how she made it come trueJenny dreamed of trainsNobody knew how she made it come trueJenny dreamed of trainsWords and music by vince gill and guy clark
