Enough

Hey Jenny, it's been a week, I know you just met me

But I like bein' your friend already so tell me

What're we doing today?

Jenny, don't ya think it's always gonna be this way?

Hey Jack, as a matter of fact

It's a quick trip to school and a long ride back

I think you and I can ride bikes all day and night

My folks said if I don't rush home that's fine

Hey Jenny, I'll be outside when you're ready

I know things at home are so heavy

Why do your folks talk you so loud?

Jenny, don't ya think we oughta run away right now?

Hey Jack, as a matter of fact

My train leaves tomorrow and my bags are packed

I told you I'd leave the day that we graduate

Jackie tell me one more time what you always say

I cannot give you anything

But everything I have

Even if it breaks my heart in half

And I know you love me loads

But if you tell me so

Just once

I would tell you what

That would be enough for me

That would be enough for me

Hey Jenny, I can't believe it's been a year already

I've been saving up pennies

I hear the drive out west ain't far

Anywhere I gotta go just to be where you are

Hey Jack, as a matter of fact

I'm sorry that it took me so long to write back

I'm living with somebody, but Jackie he don't treat me great

When it gets late I remember how you used to say

I cannot give you anything

But everything I have

Even if it breaks my heart in half

And I know you love me loads

But if you tell me so

Just once

I would tell you what

That would be enough for me

That would be enough for me

There's a knock on the door in the morning

Jenny sent no letter, no warning

Just her bags in her hands in the pouring rain

Jackie lets her inside and they're quiet

They can't find the words but they're trying

Her bags fall to the floor and she hears him say

"Jenny don't you think it's always gonna be this way?"
