Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, I've never seen no wages of war
That's what you told me, baby
That day at the wall
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna be a free roving dancer
Yes, I followed you, baby
I was looking for the answer
[Verse 3]
Were you trying to break my mind?
Always knowing that the lights could change
Oh, my Jenny of the roses
You'll probably rule the world some day
[Verse 4]
Yes, then we were running
Yeah, down the king's highway
With a ten dollar lean
You were twenty steps in front of me
[Verse 5]
Well, didn't it rain?
Well, didn't it thunder?
O'er ribbons of highway
And you were caught under
[Verse 6]
Were you trying to break my mind?
Always knowing that the lights could change
Oh, my Jenny of the roses
Let me follow you down
Where the dead river ends
Where we met before
Where we'll meet again
And I wonder
Yes, I wonder
[Verse 7]
Yes, I've never been afraid of the darkness
It's just a different kind of light
Were you trying to tell me something?
[Verse 8]
Didn't it rain?
Didn't it thunder?
O'er ribbons of highway
And you were caught under
[Verse 9]
Were you trying to break my mind?
Always knowing that the lights could change
Oh, my Jenny of the roses
Let me follow you down
Take pleasure in the rain
Down at the wall
Where they all know your name
And I wonder
