With a name just like some melody that I’ve never heard before
She took my hand and led me down that sandy shore
By the time the sun went down I knew I’d really lost my heart
That was the first time, but it was only just the start
‘Cause years went by and I survived and I somehow made it through
I swore that time couldn’t heal the pain but I learned how that ain’t through
Sara and Tara and Jenny Marie
Those were the days when we were wild and we were free
I liked you and I loved you but we went our separate ways
But I still think of you today
Jenny was a young girl, how old no one knows
She grew up on the dusty streets of a little town in Mexico
She never knew her mother’s face and she never knew about love
But somehow I could make her smile and for her that was close enough
Even some old fence at the border couldn’t slow us down, no way
They warned us not to cross that line, but we did one summer day
Immigration never found us, but somewhere things went wrong
So she stayed north and I went south, guess that’s where we belong
Sara and Tara and Jenny Marie
Those were the days when we were wild and we were free
I liked you and I loved you but we went our separate ways
But I still think of you today
I pulled up to a roadside bar up on highway 89
Walking through the doorway was just like stepping back in time
She jumped the bar and hugged me and she shouted out to the crowd
Everyone get out of here, this place is closing down
Then she locked the door and we were finally left alone
I put five dollars in the jukebox and put on her favorite song
She held me close and kissed me and we laughed all through the night
As we danced there in the darkness right up to the morning light
Sara and Tara and Jenny Marie
Those were the days when we were wild and we were free
I liked you and I loved you but we went our separate ways
But I still think of you today
I even bought a ring one time but I never said I do
Now I hear somebody stole your heart and I wish the best for you
Sara and Tara and Jenny Marie
Those were the days when we were wild and we were free
I liked you and I loved you but we went our separate ways
But I still think of you today
