Lyrics
Am
When Jenny left Oklahoma
E
She didn't mean to start no fires
C
But it had to be done
G
Before she could run
Am
She had to take care of the liars
Am
When Jenny left Oklahoma
E
With the money and the meth
C
She ran over the hogs
G
And one of the dogs
Am
She left one hell of a mess
Fadd 9 Cadd9 G
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, keep driving away,
Jenny
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, Yipee Ki Yi Aye,
Jenny..
When Jenny left Oklahoma
She made that blacktop burn
She let out a yell
Shouted go to hell
And left rubber at the turn
When Jenny left Oklahoma
On the run to Chaco canyon
There was a line of cops
Telling her to stop
To the devil be damn em'
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, Yipee Ki Yi Aye, Jenny
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, Yipee Ki Yi Aye,
Jenny..
Bridge
Em
Now those pistons are pumping
G
Her car's in the sky
D
And Jenny's little arms
C
Are thrown way up high
F C G
She’s just trying in her way to be free..
F C G
But it's all so temporary
Ain't it,
Am, C, G
Jenny?
When Jenny left Oklahoma
They never found no trace
Among the meth and cash
And the rest of the crash
She was gone from that place
When Jenny left Oklahoma
Maybe she grew herself some wings
There's folks that say
She's flyin' today
If you believe such things
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, keep flyin' away
Jenny
Yipee Ki Yi Aye, Yipee Ki Yi Aye,
Yip! Jenny
