lyrics
She goes where nobody knows
But that's okay her name is Jane Doe
At the diner at 5th and Main
She wonders when things are gonna change
Through the door walks a city man
And Jane Doe goes through her plan
Maybe he'll take her away
From this town and all her pain
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
Straightens her apron and fixes her hair
And the man doesn't seem to care
An hour later she's seen it all before
Another savior walking out the door
Late at night when no one's around
And constant tears are the only sound
She feels that life's passing her by
And no one can hear her cries
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
But that's okay her name is Jane Doe
At the diner at 5th and Main
She wonders when things are gonna change
Through the door walks a city man
And Jane Doe goes through her plan
Maybe he'll take her away
From this town and all her pain
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
Straightens her apron and fixes her hair
And the man doesn't seem to care
An hour later she's seen it all before
Another savior walking out the door
Late at night when no one's around
And constant tears are the only sound
She feels that life's passing her by
And no one can hear her cries
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
Maybe one day she'll be free
From this town and her misery
She's gonna be writing letters that maybe he'll read
But how much more can she bleed
