I been listening to the wind all day
Blowin' through the fields
Won't you tell me what it takes to make you smile?
I know you're thinking 'bout runnin' away
Feel the road beneath your wheels
Jenny, I told you that it just might take a while

I got a ticket on a midnight train
Right here in my hand
Take you anywhere a girl might want to go
You can whistle I'll come runnin'
Leave my people, leave my land
'Cause Jenny I just can't stand to tell you no

Jenny Lee what you're lookin' for you can't find
Fool's gold in a silver mine
Just runnin' away won't make you free
Well you never see nothin' if your eyes are blind
The rain won't stop and the sun don't shine
Please don't make me follow Jenny Lee

I was a settled down family man
I had money in the bank, yeah I had plans
That's not too bad for a little town kid
Then I met Jenny and Jenny met me
She was pretty good company
There's days you know when I wished I never did
Jenny Lee what you're lookin' for you can't find
Fool's gold in a silver mine
Just runnin' away won't make you free
Well you never see nothin' if your eyes are blind
The rain won't stop and the sun don't shine
Please don't make me follow Jenny Lee

Jenny Lee what you're lookin' for you can't find
Fool's gold in a silver mine
Please don't make me follow you Jenny Lee...
