[Verse 1]
They met down by the riverside
Two strangers watchin’ stars go by
They talked for hours, side by side
With laughin’ hearts and open eyes
They’d go out dancin’ Friday nights
Share cornbread, whiskey, jokes and dreams
Just friends who stayed ‘til mornin’ light
But love was hid behind the scenes
[Chorus 1]
They didn’t know what they had found
Just two souls messin’ ‘round
But somethin’ deeper took its place
In every smile, in every face
[Verse 2]
One quiet night, she held her hand
They kissed where no one else could see
A love that bloomed in borrowed land
A fire burnin’ secretly
They loved like thunder in the rain
No shame, no rules, no need to hide
But love don’t always beat the pain
When small town whispers start to slide
[Chorus 2]
They gave their hearts in secret ways
But not all hearts know when to stay
And love that’s true can still get lost
When lies get told and lines get crossed
[Bridge]
Another girl came stirrin’ hate
She wanted Bri, she played her part
She twisted truth and sealed their fate
And drove a wedge in Jenny’s heart
Brianna turned, she walked away
She didn’t hear Jen’s broken voice
She let that poison lead her stray
And left her with a silent choice
[Verse 3]
Now Jenny sleeps beneath the hill
Where wildflowers cry in morning dew
Her heart gave out, too hurt to heal
She died believin’ love was true
She wrote a letter no one read
Until the day the lies came clear
And Bri just wept beside her bed
Still hearin’ Jenny callin’ near
[Chorus 3]
She died of hurt too deep to name
Too much of truth, too much of blame
Bri’d give it all to turn time back
But ghosts don’t walk the same old track
[Final Chorus]
Now Brianna walks that lonesome road
To where the sky and mountains glow
She said goodbye to all she knew
To find the girl she once held true
They’re side by side beneath the pines
Where pain don’t sting and love still shines
And every night that stars still flame
Bri softly whispers Jenny’s name
