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 countin'
sheep
She could go anywhere when she went to sleep
All she ever talked
about was gettin' on to ride
She was livin' in another time you could see it
in her eyes
Everyday after school she'd head don't to the tracks
Waitin'
for the train that was never comin' back
Chorus:
Jenny dreamed of
trains
When the nighttime came
Nobody knew how she made it come
true
Jenny dreamed of trains
The depot's been boarded up, the rails 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
Said she was
just a little girl actin' kinda strange
(Chorus)
Jenny laid a penny on
the track one day
In God we trust she walked away
The very next mornin'
all that she could find
Was a little piece of copper squashed flatter than a
dime
Nobody knew how she made it come true
Jenny dreamed of trains
