Jenny Was a Dream Girl
 

 Written & Sung: J. Stewart; Arrangment & Backup Vocal: L. Buckingham
 

Jenny, when you find the sun
Dream girls do
Jenny, when you're on the run
It's dream girl dues
Runnin' with the boys when the boys said go
You had them out on the line
And they danced all night to the song you sang
Jenny was a dream girl down the line

Jenny, you're before the fall
Dream girls do
Jenny, when you hit the wall
And your dreams fall through
Don't look close in your lover boy's eyes
You're gonna see it's true
That nothing is free and the heart you break
Jenny, like a dream, comes back to you

Jenny was a dream girl
Jenny was a dream girl
Jenny was a dream girl down the line

Runnin' with the boys when the boys said go
You had them out on the line
And they danced all night to the song you sang
Jenny was a dream girl down the line

Jenny was a dream girl
Jenny was a dream girl
Jenny was a dream girl down the line

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

This is a song is about a good girl gone bad, obviously. A side note: John Stewart really likes the phrase "down the line", doesn't he? Just transcribing the songs Lindsey appears on for him, I've seen it several times - Buddy Won't You Roll, Somewhere Down the Line, etc. But I don't know, maybe that was a big phrase back then, Lindsey uses it in a couple songs, too - Monday Morning, for instance - and Stevie uses it as well in songs like Ooh My Love and I Don't Want to Know. OK, I've gotten off on a tangent! As for this song, not my favorite, but not too bad, either.
