[00:00.00]Jenny - Steve Taylor
[00:06.30]On a Saturday night
[00:07.98]All the girls run free
[00:10.71]Singing "Bury me not on the lone Prairie"
[00:15.76]But where do you go
[00:17.07]When you finish broken-hearted
[00:21.02]Back to the dust
[00:22.38]Where you started
[00:24.31]Jenny cut her teeth in a midwest shack
[00:26.66]As a shantytown girl
[00:28.20]On the wrong end of the tracks
[00:30.15]Her mama taught her everything
[00:31.41]She'd need to get along
[00:32.91]And her Sunday School teacher
[00:34.24]Taught her right and wrong
[00:36.46]Raised to be respectable
[00:37.53]But born to be poor
[00:39.06]It was all she'd ever known
[00:40.53]But she figured there was more
[00:42.37]When she came of age
[00:43.72]Jenny made herself a vow
[00:45.14]"I'm gonna get out and I don't care how"
[00:54.36]It appeared every Autumn on the courthouse lawn
[00:57.38]And the leaves never fell 'til the carnival was gone
[01:00.67]Michael was a barker for an arcade ride
[01:03.41]With a smooth-talk tongue
[01:04.90]And a wandering eye
[01:06.74]"Get your tickets here for the Halls O'Mirrors maze
[01:09.60]If you can't get out
[01:11.11]I know a couple ways"
[01:12.77]He caught Jenny's eye but her thoughts looked down
[01:15.60]All she wanted was a ticket going out of that town
[01:20.49]How how I wanna bury you
[01:23.38]How bury you and run away done away
[01:26.62]How how I wanna bury your memory
[01:31.35]Why don't you let me be
[01:38.38]Michael stole a kiss then he whispered at last
[01:41.56]"You're a little old-fashioned
[01:43.04]So forget about your past
[01:44.71]These Bible belt folks think living is a sin
[01:47.30]So they all start dying from the day they're born again"
[01:50.90]And there atop the Ferris wheel
[01:52.50]The colors were a blur
[01:53.76]The morning
[01:54.32]Said he loved her but she wasn't really sure
[01:56.82]He made her promise not to leave
[01:58.56]Until he came to get her
[02:00.00]She promised him
[02:00.74]But she should have known better
[02:03.30]She cried she cried
[02:04.62]How how I wanna bury you
[02:07.49]How bury you and run away done away
[02:10.64]How how I wanna bury your memory
[02:15.52]Why don't you let me be
[02:28.24]On a train stowaway
[02:31.89]Jesus loves you still
[02:33.24]And your mama wants you home
[02:34.77]But oh bridges burn
[02:37.68]When you carry your shame
[02:39.08]And you think you can't return
[02:42.68]How how I wanna bury you
[02:45.51]How bury you and run away done away
[02:48.61]How how I wanna bury your memory
[02:59.07]When they finally found
[02:59.94]Her body on a cold dog day
[03:02.06]It was in a cattle car buried in the hay
[03:05.34]A note in the pocket of her calico dress
[03:08.14]Said "I'm guilty as sin but I can't confess"
[03:11.31]Once you know the truth you can hide it on a shelf
[03:14.21]But unless you bring it down
[03:16.11]Live with yourself
[03:18.79]In her right hand Jenny held the Bible of her mother
[03:23.84]Jenny had a pistol in the other
[03:39.98]On a Saturday night all the girls run free
[03:44.41]Singing "bury me not on the lone prairie"
[03:49.41]But where do you go
[03:50.73]When you finish broken-hearted
[03:54.84]Back to the dust where you started
