From the recording JENNIE, GET YOUR COAT
A song that never saw the 'light of day'...my first attempt at a 'suite'. I wrote several songs back in the day for Jen...this is the only time I mentioned her name. David never would have sung this song, for reasons I won't go into here..lol. From a songwriter standpoint, I love the 'parts'...I didn't have much fear in those days.."Think it,write it" was my motto.
Lyrics
JENNIE, GET YOUR COAT
JENNIE GET YOUR COAT WE’RE GOIN’ FOR A RIDE
PACK LIGHT, WE’RE GONNA TAKE FLIGHT
WE CAN REACH THE MOON BY NOON IF WE MAKE GOOD TIME…
JENNIE LOOK RIGHT, YOU’LL SEE STARS…LOOK LEFT
YOU’LL SEE MY HEART
WE CAN REACH THE SUN BY ONE AND WE’LL WATCH IT RISE
JENNIE GET YOUR COAT IT MIGHT GET COLD
IT MIGHT BE HOT I REALLY DON’T KNOW
JENNIE WRITE A NOTE YOU WON’T BE HOME TONIGHT..
JENNIE TELL YOUR MOM YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS
THE JOURNEY’S LONG BUT WE CAN’T MAKE PLANS
JENNIE HAVE A SNACK OR NAP AND LET ME DRIVE…
JENNIE GO AHEAD ROLL YOUR WINDOW DOWN
PUT YOUR FEET UP SING REAL LOUD
AIN’T NO ONE GONNA HEAR US..IT’S JUST YOU AND I
JENNIE WE’RE ALMOST THERE, ARE YOU HAVING FUN TONIGHT?
WE’LL STOP ANYWHERE YOU LIKE
IF AND WHEN WE CARE ABOUT THE ONES WE LEFT BEHIND
WE’LL HEAD BACK I SWEAR..IT’LL BE ALRIGHT
JENNIE DON’T LOOK NOW I THINK WE’RE LOST
I’VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE
WHAT DOES THE MAP SAY…WHICH LINE DID WE CROSS?
THIS WAY OR THAT..? I’M NOT SURE…
JENNIE WE’RE ALMOST THERE, ARE YOU HAVING FUN TONIGHT?
WE’LL STOP ANYWHERE YOU LIKE
IF AND WHEN WE CARE ABOUT THE ONES WE LEFT BEHIND
WE’LL HEAD BACK I SWEAR..IT’LL BE ALRIGHT
JENNIE GET YOUR COAT IT MIGHT GET COLD
IT MIGHT BE HOT I REALLY DON’T KNOW
JENNIE WRITE A NOTE YOU WON’T BE HOME TONIGHT..
JENNIE TELL YOUR MOM YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS
THE JOURNEY’S LONG BUT WE CAN’T MAKE PLANS
JENNIE HAVE A SNACK OR NAP AND LET ME DRIVE…
JENNIE GET YOUR COAT WE’RE GOIN’ FOR A RIDE
