"Running For Jennie"
The Lyrics
Looking out at the road rushing under my feet
Trying to cope with grief I feel
When Jen walked right out on me
In '65, I was 17 and running for The Tide
I dont where I was running to
I just enjoyed the ride
Running on ... Running for Jennie
Running on ... Roll the TIDE
Running into the Coach
Now Im hitting my stride
Gotta do what you can just to keep your friends alive
Try not to get confused with that
Looking for that Charlie guy
In '69, I was stuck in 'Nam; had to save LT Dan
I dont know why he get all mad
But now Im playing Pong
Pinging on .. Ponging for Jenny
Playing on ... Ponging WILD
Ponging to the Far East
Now Im pinging behind
Everywhere you go, everyone you know
Ladies have a season to conceive
I dont know about anyone but Jen
If its just one night; that'll be alright
If I can leave her with child before she leaves
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
I dont need to tell you all how crazy Jen's love feels
Looking out for a friend named Dan
Who got me invested in fruit
Looking out to the guests, I see hes walking too
Walking on .. Walking to Jenny
Walking on .. Smiling WIDE!
Walking on his new legs
And he's blowing my mind
Jennie, you're really testing me
The way you treat me so unkind
I wish you'd stick around, but you're not so inclined
You dont even know the dangers
That you're gonna find (Running wild)
I wanted to keep you safe
But Im running behind
(And, of course when Forrest was running for Jennie, he thought about Jennie a lot .. Well, Duh. This second one is a true lament, so watch out)
Say, where you gonna run
Bro, what you trying to find
She didnt think you strong enough
To shield her from Daddy's crimes (Aw, Forrest)
From here, we can see your heart break!
Oh, she got you all wrong
Yet you still have to hurry
She's been carousing too long
I dont have the means to heal your heart
From this appaling tale of woe, Oh Forrest
She keeps you running
Yeah, she keeps you running
She keeps you running
Yeah, she keeps you running
Oh, you will find your love
Jen needs your loving care
Oh, but what happens to you next
Damn, this life is so unfair
And now you'll have to mourn her
For the rest of your years
But you got little Forrest
To ease you thru this vale of tears
You must find the means to heal your heart
From this awful tale of woe (Oh, Forrest)
She has you mourning
Yeah, she has you mourning
She has you mourning
Yeah, she has you mourning
(I know it hurts)
She keeps you running
Yeah, she keeps you running ...
