Question
There was a semi-popular song my sisters and I always loved, and now cannot find it. The song goes: Oh Jenny, you could have been anything, Oh Jenny, Why'd you think you had to change? You were playin the part, playin by the rules, why'd you decide to play the fool? You got lost and slipped through the cracks, Jenny Come Back, Jenny Come Back, Jeeeennnny, Come Back. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Answer
Would this be "Jenny Come Back" by Restless Heart?  My lyrics are a little different:

I still hear the glass that shattered,
When she slammed the door.
I knew inside it was foolish pride,
And nothing more.
But I let her walk away,
When I knew the words to say...
(CHORUS)
Jenny come back, I musta' been crazy.
I don't know what made me,
Treat you like that.
Jenny come back,
The love that you gave me,
Is all that can save me.
Jenny come back.
Just a crazy fight where nobody was right,
And nobody was wrong.
But this time around nobody backed down,
And now she's gone.
And I'm wishin' it was just a bad dream,
Prayin' that the phone will ring.
(CHORUS)
Jenny come back,
I made a mistake, gonna do what it takes,
Jenny come back.
Gonna make it right I need you tonight
Jenny come back
Jenny come back, I musta been crazy.
I don't know what made me,
Treat you like that.
Jenny come back,
Don't leave me lonely.
I need you to hold me,
Jenny come back.
Jenny come back.
Jenny come back.
Oh, Jenny come back.

Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
