Jenny Dreamed Of Trains

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 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 Jenny dreamed of trains When the nighttime came Nobody knew how 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 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 --- Jenny Dreamed of Trains - Vince Gill
