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
