  • Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy

  • Out in the shack with a blue tick hound

  • Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty

  • The kind that a rich man can't turn down

  • She caught the eye of an oil man dancin'

  • One summer night in a dime store dress

  • She had the looks, he had the mansion

  • And you can figure out the rest

  • It was all roses, drippin' in diamonds

  • Sipping on champagne

  • She was all uptown, wearin' that white gown

  • Taking his last name

  • She could hear those church bells ringin', ringin'

  • And up in the loft, that whole choir's singin', singin'

  • Fold your hands and close your eyes

  • Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

  • And just listen to the church bells ringin', ringin'

  • Yeah, they're ringin'

  • Jenny was hosting Junior League parties

  • And havin' dinner at the country club

  • Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie

  • But Ken was always gettin' way too drunk

  • Saturday night, after a few too many

  • He came home ready to fight

  • And all his money could never save Jenny

  • From the devil livin' in his eyes

  • It was all bruises, covered in makeup

  • Dark sunglasses

  • And that next mornin', sittin' in the back pew

  • Prayin' with the baptist

  • She could hear those church bells ringin', ringin'

  • And up in the loft, that whole choir singin', singin'

  • Fold your hands and close your eyes

  • Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

  • You just listen to the church bells ringin', ringin'

  • Yeah, they're ringin'

  • Jenny slipped somethin' in his Tennessee whiskey

  • No law man was ever gonna find

  • And how he died is still a mystery

  • But he hit a woman for the very last time

  • She could hear those church bells ringin', ringin'

  • Standing there in a black dress singin', singin'

  • Fold your hands and close your eyes

  • Yeah, it's all gonna be alright

  • And just listen to the church bells ringin', ringin'

  • Yeah, they're ringin'

Jenny grew up wild, like a blackfoot daisy
