Jenny was a good woman James was a gentleman They pushed hard against the pushback They loved liked porcelain It was a work of art That got stronger under fire Got judged for being what it was It was worth the fight Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from Jenny showed up at sixteen James was born right down the street To a name that told him Who he should be There were things you didn't do And people you didn't talk to But Jenny and James They didn't care who knew Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from Jenny kept a diary James just kept it in Everybody's got their own way Of dealing with where they've been They left before you got here But she left her words to read And I'll give you her name to remind you Of who you can be Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from Don't forget what you come from
