Jennie Spins on the Bedrock

Intro

Jennie, Jennie, map my feet (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, shake the street (yeah)

Verse

Boots heavy with mud, skirt caught on a fence

She reads the river like a sentence

Compass on her wrist, a sunburned grin

She hums to the stones and she steps right in

Quartz in her pocket, a fossil in lace

She spins a story out of time and place

Finger on a seam, toes on a trace

She’s tracing the lines like a secret dance

Pre-chorus

Step, mark, measure — sway, count, repeat (uh-huh)

She turns the geology into heartbeat

Chorus

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (yeah)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (feel it)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing

Verse

She hums a contour line and the crowd leans in

Field notebook folds like the map of her skin

She counts the years in the color of clays

Turns a landslide into a two-step phrase

Gneiss on her collar, mica in the light

She waltzes through outcrops, turning wrong to right

A pocket of amber, a laugh in her hand

She teaches the cliff how to understand

Pre-chorus

Trace, tilt, tumble — spin, point, declare (yeah)

Every broken rock becomes choreography there

Chorus

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (uh-huh)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (feel it)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing

Bridge

She says: "Listen, the mountain teaches rhythm, listen close"

A sediment of stories in every rose-colored loam

Her hands rewrite maps, her feet draft the coast

When she dances with the dirt she brings the past home

(oh-oh) Jen-nie, Jen-nie — step the fault line, hold me (hold me)

(la-la) Jen-nie, Jen-nie — spin the ages, show me (show me)

Chorus

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (yeah)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing

Jennie spins on the bedrock, oh-oh (Jennie, Jennie)

Jennie reads the layers with her soles (oh-oh)

Jennie, Jennie, tap the shale, feel the swing (feel it)

Jennie, Jennie, let the old stones sing
