Jenny Anything

Jenny Anything Jenny had a hard life. Nothing came easily to her. Nothing good ever came without exacting a price. I think about Rachel. Of all people to mourn Jenny's demise, her tears will be the most profound. Ruth and I have sat up at Charlie's bedside all night. He never has regained conciousness. That may be a blessing, his body was ravaged in the accident. Jerry still has not been located. Sheriff Green with his deputies Donnie Everhart and Jimmy Taylor has been searching throughout the night. Green has now sent Everhart to fetch St. Peter. Jenny's services will be held Saturday. She has no family to notify. In St. George's, I privately mourn Jenny's passage. Life here won't be the same now. The bar that had brought such joy and satisfaction now was bringing me agony. I glimpse the old jukebox in the back corner. It's so old and worn. It plays only 45's. I should have replaced it long ago with a new CD player. But each song reminds me of a place, a time, a person... Jenny. I look into the mirror only to see a face I don't recognize staring back at me. Like the jukebox, I still serve my purpose, but I too have grown old... Jukebox Of You		spoken intro I called her "Jenny Anything" and anything was possible... Anything could happen... though good things seldom did end spoken chorus If I remember just one thing I'll remember hearing Jenny sing Touching voice from time gone by Fading angelic into a moonless sky end chorus She set up camp in the local bar Wounded in battle, she lost the war Held down the fort when times grew rough Jenny’s smile wasn't defense enough Sold her soul when the rent came due Jenny did anything she had to do Times were tough and money's short Life sent a payment she had to abort chorus Jenny walked the streets downtown A lonely place for a soul to drown Under the bridge at the overpass This time the bottle won't meet the glass An Alpine box they call her home Under a placard that is carved in stone Jenny found a place to fill her needs Now she has no want of any thing chorus If I remember just one thing I'll remember hearing Jenny sing Touching voice from time gone by Fading angelic into a moonless sky If I remember just one thing I’ll remember Jenny Anything... If I remember just one thing I’ll remember Jenny Anything... Lyrics Copyright 1998-2000 by W Paul Cary CARCEN Productions
