Jenny ran along beside me With a handful of roses And a red petal caught in her hair She said some never know When their last friend is gone You look out and there's nobody there 30 days I've been driving Never once going home Sleeping rough in the back of my car And the nights when I was drinking I would sit by the phone And lose all my courage at the bar CHORUS On the darkest highway On the hardest road On the weary vigil We keep alone So if I turn the whole thing over One more time in my head Will that memory fade over time Jenny lying awake in the arms of a man And her eyes looking straight into my mine CHORUS
