Sweethearts Of The Rodeo Jenny Dreamed Of Trains lyrics

When Jenny was a little girl, she only dreamed of trains
She never played 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 to 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 night time 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 when the night time came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains

So Jenny laid a penny on the track one day
In God we trust and then she walked away
The very next morning all that she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a dime

Jenny dreamed of trains when the night time came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains

Jenny dreamed of trains when the night time came
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
