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 dancing

One summer night in a dime store dress

She had the looks, he had the mansion
C#
And you can figure out the rest

She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing

Jenny was hosting Junior League parties

Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie

Saturday night, after a few too many

He came home ready to fight

And all his money could never save Jenny

From the devil living in his eyes
