Jane, Come Down From Your Room

Jane, come down from your room
You've been up there so long I don't know what to do
Oh Jane, come down from your room

Jane, I'm sure you have reasons to cry
I've been hard on my daughter for all of your life
No, it's nothing you did that made me mad
It's the fact that I've been a terrible Dad
And I'm sorry I shouted at you like I did
I need to remember you're only a kid
Whose family's in shambles, before she turned eight
My baby should never have to carry that weight
Oh Janie, my daughter, sweet girl

Jane, come down from your room
You've been up thеre so long I don't know what to do
Oh Janie, come down from your room

Somеday you'll see what it's like to be drunk
And that it's the reason your mother left me
Oh, my father and grandad both struggled with it
And I vowed that I'd never, but I still haven't quit
Oh Janie, my daughter, sweet girl

Jane, come down from your room
You've been up there so long I don't know what to do
Jane my girl, I am to blame
Cause I can change my ways now but you won't be the same
Oh Janie, come down from your room

Someday a boy will want to love you
And I hope that he treats you like I didn't do
And your heart will be frigid like a north country frost
But don't drive him away with the trust that you lost
Oh Janie, my daughter
Oh Janie, my darling, sweet girl

Jane, come down from your room
You've been up there so long I don't know what to do
Jane sweet girl, I wish I agreed
That I'm ready to be the father you need
Oh Janie, come down
Oh Janie, come down
Oh Janie, come down from your room
