Music and Lyrics: Brett Talley
Co-produced by John Faye

lyrics

Jenny’s always looking for a way out
Cigarettes, magazines, head full of doubt
Hitting up drive thrus after midnight
Staring at a mirror at what she don’t like

Never think twice about falling hard
It’s a matter of time for a broken heart
Life can be cruel for an old school girl
If you’re tryin to make a change in a modern world

Jimmy left her and dropped out of school
The earth crumbled while she had to play cool
Momma’s always saying, "Come back home."
Daddy says the opposite to her on the phone, don’t come back home

Never think twice about falling hard
It’s a matter of time for a broken heart
Life can be cruel for an old school girl
If you’re tryin to make a change in a modern world

Don’t change yourself for anyone but you
Don’t sell yourself short, you’re worth much more than that

Jenny met her on the first day of June
Carved their initials in the light of the moon
A year later own a house in the hills
And for the first time, time stood still

Never think twice about falling hard
It’s a matter of time for a broken heart
Life can be cruel for an old school girl
If you’re tryin to make a change in a modern world

Life’s a bitch but it can turn around
Think of Jenny when the world gets you down
