Church Bells

Jenny grew up wild, like a Blackfoot daisy
 Out in the shack with a Bluetick hound
 Broke as hell, but blessed with beauty
 The kind that a rich man can't turn down
 She caught the eye of an oil man dancing
 One summer night in a dime store dress
 She had the looks, he had the mansion
 And you can figure out the rest
 It was all roses, dripping in diamonds
 Sipping on champagne
 She was all uptown, wearing that white gown
 Taking his last name
 She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
 And up in the loft, that whole choir's singing, singing
 Fold your hands and close your eyes
 Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
 And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
 Yeah, they're ringing

 Jenny was hosting Junior League parties
 And having dinner at the country club
 Everyone thought they were Ken and Barbie
 But Ken was always getting way too drunk
 Saturday night, after a few too many
 He came home ready to fight
 And all his money could never save Jenny
 From the devil living in his eyes
 It was all bruises, covered in makeup
 Dark sunglasses
 And that next morning, sitting in the back pew
 Praying with the baptists
 She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
 And up in the loft, that whole choir singing, singing
 Fold your hands and close your eyes
 Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
 You just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
 Yeah, they're ringing

 Jenny slipped something in his Tennessee whiskey
 No law-man was ever gonna find
 And how he died is still a mystery
 But he hit a woman for the very last time
 She could hear those church bells ringing, ringing
 Standing there in a black dress singing, singing
 Fold your hands and close your eyes
 Yeah, it's all gonna be alright
 And just listen to the church bells ringing, ringing
 Yeah, they're ringing
