Goodnight, Texas - Jane, Come Down From Your Room lyrics

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
