Jenny (Whiskey and Drugs)

Jenny was a beauty at seventeen
But her daddy was buried down six-feet deep
Her momma was poor but she tried her best
To raise her daughter unlike that rest
One night while partying with Sarah Jean
She had her first sip of Jack's whiskey
It burned her throat but it soothed her soul
That's when she swore that she'd never grow old

Jenny please, ah listen to me
I'm trying my best to keep your daddy's peace
Jenny please, I'm know you're having fun
But mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun

A few months past and Jack had her scent
Jenny partied every weekend with her new friends
They went to the river and they went to the marsh
They stopped mixing whiskey, they just drank it down harsh
One day Billy some young punk said
Let's ditch this whiskey and smoke instead
It burned their chests but it soothed their souls
And they all swore that they'd never grow old

Jenny please, ah listen to me
I'm trying my best to keep your daddy's peace
Jenny please, I'm know you're having fun
But mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun

They stayed out late and they ditched school
They ditched their old friends 'cause they weren't as cool
They started drinking weekends in the burning sun
And sure as hell they left a mess when they were done
One day Billy said let's ditch the smoke
I got a cousin who sells dope ass coke
It burned their noses but it soothed their souls
They all kept swearing that they'd never grow old

Jenny please, ah listen to me
I'm trying my best to keep your daddy's peace
Jenny please, I'm know you're having fun
But mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun

One Saturday they drank at Billy's farm
They did their drugs, did no one harm
Till Jenny said 'let's go to the fair'
But they didn't know the devil was already there
That night they died on the overpass
Her momma she learned on the talking glass
It burned her eyes and it burned her soul
She cried cause Jenny would never grow old

Jenny please, ah listen to me
I'm trying my best to keep your daddy's peace
Jenny please, I'm know you're having fun
But mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun
Yeah, mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun
Yeah, mixing whiskey and drugs is a bullet and a gun
