Andrew Cekala - Jenny's Raincoat Lyrics

Jenny woke up when the wheels touched down on the tarmac
Gulf coast sunset on her window seat.
New Orleans bound, her weekend wrapped in backpack
She couldn't help think, how long was I asleep?

Jenny got to hostile and put on a sundress
On the balcony trumpets tugging at her hips
She twirled to the tune of a girl that she didn't know yet
A Romeo blowing magic from her lips

She didn't know if
She didn't know when
She'd ever hear a song like that again

Jenny knew better than to go out alone, but she did
Fish fry, smoke, and color in the air
She stumbled into a dive bar playing horns she knew she heard before
And saw her playing there

She didn't know if
She didn't know when
She'd ever get a night like that again

Jenny went home with the girl who lived on the water
Kissed her neck under constellation light
Sleeping under stones, it didn't bother her
The moon could take her time shining tonight

Jenny woke up with morning rain in ear
Eucalyptus lady laying at her side
She rose, gave Jenny a raincoat and said "keep it, dear"
And played her song as Jenny waved goodbye

She didn't know if
She didn't know when
She'd ever hear a song like that again

Jenny got home from her first day at school in August
Turned the TV on and started to cry
The gulf storm had flooded half the bayou
She held the coat and prayed she was somewhere dry

Jenny grew up and married a man named Bill
Bought a house with driveway made of stone
One day gave the raincoat to the Goodwill
Where a boy with a banjo bought it walking home
Alone.
