Verse:
5. Jenny came back and the wet road still shining
   In our eyes an angel, clear and coronal, clothed in all that’s                   
        prodigal and strange

6. Jenny came back and I thought that I heard her
   Murmur something ‘bout “No men in Virginia” spat on the ground like 
        a letter tossed away   


Bridge:
7. Jenny and me in my dead truck and turning over
   Just where heaven calls the kingdom of the animals scratching our 
        heads where the wolf would go to lay

Final Bridge:
  Em                              C
