Jenny Dreamed Of Trains

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 And she could go anywhere when she went to sleep All she ever talked about was getting 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 Waiting 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 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 acting kind of strange Jenny dreamed of trains When the nighttime came Nobody knew how that she made it come true Jenny dreamed of trains Jenny laid a penny on the track one day In God we trust, 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 When the nighttime came Nobody knew how she made it come true Jenny dreamed of trains Nobody knew how she made it come true Jenny dreamed of trains
