Jenny ran along beside me
|
With a handful of roses
|
And a red petal caught in her hair
|
She said some never know
|
When their last friend is gone
|
You look out and there's nobody there
|
|
30 days I've been driving
|
Never once going home
|
Sleeping rough in the back of my car
|
And the nights when I was drinking
|
I would sit by the phone
|
And lose all my courage at the bar
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
On the darkest highway
|
On the hardest road
|
On the weary vigil
|
We keep alone
|
|
So if I turn the whole thing over
|
One more time in my head
|
Will that memory fade over time
|
Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man
|
And her eyes looking straight into my mine
|
|
CHORUS
