Jenny and the Tower

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Jenny climbed the tower That brought the stations To her little town She sees the streetlights Stretch down Main Street like a rosary Jenny climbed the tower That brought the show That saved her daddy's soul With hours of fire and brimstone That left Jenny's momma cold [Chorus] You remember when he Packed his bags to go He was looking for salvation That he couldn't find at home It didn't make much sense back then But my, how you have grown Now you're looking down A hundred feet below You're looking down A hundred feet below you [Verse 2] Jenny climbed the tower And she can see her house from here Where mother folds the laundry Watching afternoon TV Jenny climbed the tower That brings the show That sells the soap That washed any trace of hope From Jenny's mother's eyes [Chorus] She hardly ever answers When you call And when she's got the volume up It's like you're not there at all She just might pay attention If you put on a show Now you're looking down A hundred feet below you Jenny You're looking down A hundred feet below [Verse 3] Jenny climbed the tower That brings her rock and roll The signal's weak but the Music speaks out clear and strong Jenny sees the steeple Of the church right down the road Where the organist is practicing Her wedding song [Chorus] In a couple of hours You'll be dressed in white You can make it last forever If you play your cards just right He don't take you away from here You'll find a way to go Now you're looking down A hundred feet below you Jenny You're looking down A hundred feet below
