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
