Jennie

Jennie works at the all-night grocery store
She wakes up everyday wanting more
No, she ain't poor but she feels empty

And her girlfriend Jill doesn't have a job
And Jennie's mom says Jill ain't no good
Look in her eyes they are empty

Ah but Jennie has a beautiful voice
Yeah one day she will be at the top of the charts yeah
She'll do everything that needs to be done
To be herself to be number one no, no, no

Jennie became a rock star
And she moved into a mansion on the hill
Jennie was paid like a rock star
She was paid to be Jennie what a thrill
Yeah, yeah

But her mama always told her
That she was something special
Yeah her mama always told her that she could
Yeah her mama always told her
That she was something special
Yeah her mama always told her that she could

But when I wake up will you be by my side?
Will you run to the sun where no shadows can hide?
And when I wake up will you be in my arms?
Yeah will you tell me you feel like
Like it's where you belong?
With me, with me, just like you belong with me
Lord with me like you belong with me alright

Today they closed that grocery store
Jennie still writes songs sings and performs
To sold out crowds
Just like she knew she always could
