Where you off to janie blu

Don't you know that your daddy ain't home

He went and left that blame with you

And that's a real heavy thing to hold,

To hold.

I've seen you lean on sweet addictions

When the pain's just a little too much

Do you think you'll find redemption

In the arms of a stranger's touch

A stranger's touch.

Why you wanna keep runnin'

From the one thing that's been true

I know I can't keep clingin'

To my janie blu.

Sometimes I think you might be healing

And other times I ain't so sure

Girl there ain't no shame in bleeding

But no such thing as pure.

Why you wanna keep runnin'

From the one thing that's been true

I know I can't keep clingin'

To my janie blu.

I've held you through the darkness

But girl I must confess

Right now I'm barely hangin' on

Like the cross around your neck.

Why you wanna keep runnin'

From the one thing that's been true

I know I can't keep clingin'

To my janie blu.
