Eliza Jane

[Verse 1]
She took the train for Mexico
To a land she didn't know
Just to change her point of view
And falling in and out of love
Around the towns has taken its toll too soon

[Verse 2]
She walks down a dusty road
Wearing the jeans her mama sold
She reads a letter that she wrote
Saying how well she's doing there
And soon she'll be able to care

[Chorus]
Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Won't you just come on home?
Get on that plane
Little Eliza Jane

[Verse 3]
She's the dreamer of dreams
Counting the uncountable it seems
Now all her fair-weather friends are gone
She needs the words to finish this song
Making sure that they're not wrong
She needs a reason to go on

[Chorus]
Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Won't you just come on home?
Get on that plane
Little Eliza Jane

[Bridge]
Some people say life's a game you just can't win
But if you can't live with it you die with it
Little Eliza Jane

[Outro]
Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Oh, little Eliza Jane
Won't you come back home again?
Hey, little Eliza Jane
Oh, little Eliza Jane
