Teenage Love Is Dead

(Verse 1) We met that night by the neon glow At the drive-in where the cool kids go You held my hand, said, "Don't be late" But fate was waiting at the pearly gates (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the stars were shining, love was new But destiny had other plans for you... (Chorus) Oh no, Jenny, don’t cross the tracks! The warning light was flashing, but you never looked back! A kiss so sweet, a love so true But now I’m slow-dancing with the ghost of you... You're alive in my heart and alive in my head, But it's sad to remember our teenage love is dead. (Verse 2) Your daddy said I was trouble and worse Called me a menace, said I was cursed But it wasn’t me, it was cruel, cruel fate And that train that came rollin’ eight seconds too late (Pre-Chorus) Oh, the wind was howling, the night so black I ran but I could never bring you back... (Chorus) Oh no, Jenny, don’t cross the tracks! The warning light was flashing, but you never looked back! A kiss so sweet, a love so true But now I’m slow-dancing with the ghost of you... You're alive in my heart and alive in my head, But it's sad to remember our teenage love is dead. (Bridge) Now every midnight, I hear you sigh Through the rustling leaves and the lonesome sky A shadow moves where the rail ties lay Whispering my name as it fades away... (Chorus) Oh no, Jenny, don’t cross the tracks! The warning light was flashing, but you never looked back! A kiss so sweet, a love so true But now I’m slow-dancing with the ghost of you... You're alive in my heart and alive in my head, But it's sad to remember our teenage love is dead. (Outro) So I’ll ride my car to the edge of town Where the railroad echoes that fateful sound And maybe someday I’ll see you again Till then I’ll just waltz with the cold night wind... You'll be alive in my heart and alive in my head, It'll be sad to remember our teenage love is dead.
