Lyrics The Harters – Jenny
Text:
Jack was a reckless rebel boy from Tennessee
In and out of trouble with the law
Still something in his eyes looked like where she wanted to be
And he had never seen something so beautiful
Jenny’s daddy wore a sheriff’s badge
One night Jack asked him for her hand
He said «Get real son she’s got bigger plans
And you’re crazy boy if you think you’re that man»
Jack said «Jenny will you run, Jenny will you run away with me?
Hold me girl let’s get away and chase that open road
Follow what you feel, remember what is real
It’s you and me, no one can take this love away
Please tell me that you’ll go; Jenny will you run?»
She wrote a note then tip toed across the floor
They were headed straight for Vegas lights
Oh but daddies just don’t sleep through slowly creaking doors
And he yelled out «Don’t you dare back out that drive.»
Jack said «Jenny will you run, Jenny will you run away with me?
Hold me girl let’s get away and chase that open road
Follow what you feel, remember what is real
It’s you and me, no one can take this love away
Please tell me that you’ll go; Jenny will you run?»
Rear view blue and red (Jenny’s heart was pounding)
Highway up ahead (oh she loves him)
If you’ve got any doubts baby I’ll pull over now
But I’m ready to slam this pedal through the ground
Come on
«Jenny will you run, Jenny will you run away with me?
Hold me girl let’s get away and chase that open road
Follow what you feel, remember what is real
Please tell me that you’ll go; Jenny will you run?»
