LYRICS
Jenny said mama I'm leaving today
Going to blow this little wallflower town
Take my talent to the anonymous city
Where my roots wonÂ’t hold me down
Mama said I knew this day would come
And if that's what you plan to do
It's a big bad difficult ruthless world
And it doesn't owe a thing to you.
(chorus) It's going to trip you up
Drag you under
This mean old world is never going to change
Jenny said yeah I hear what you say
But I will never break free if I remain
If I don't fly away I am destined to stay
An ugly duckling or completely insane.
Mama said Jenny better be on your way
Chasing dreams of fortune and fame
Crash the old boys club rock and roll party
If it ruins you I won't be to blame.
I won't buy in to their formula for me
Normal only imitates sane
Got to cut these ties, I refuse to be nice
My voice won't be restrained
I hear you say, Oooh that looks like fun.
You've got talent, you've got looks, you've sure got lungs.
But there's a sordid underbelly
Slithers out when the fun and games are done.
Working the circuit,
Sleeping in cars,
Playing the same twelve bars in the same twelve bars
So you best get smart, oh-yeah, and you best get wise
You gotta keep on moving
You gotta take your own wheel and drive.
So little sister, take my advice,
If you're going in this business, make sure that you go in with open eyes.
There's cutthroats and vagabonds,
And everybody wants to take a slice.
