Janie Lyrics

Janie walked out of the wood paneled bar that night

They found her the next morning face down in the snow

I sure hope the news got this one right

Cause if the truth is uglier I don't want to know

Janie was a kind and selfless woman

Still she could go unnoticed if she wanted to

If you needed help she'd do all that she can

She would find the courage to stand up for you

When she left that night everyone could tell something wasn't right

I'm not one for ghosts and superstition but I call it as it is

Tommy was in love with Janie

Their love was sticky, rocky, rolled ice cream

Up and down, bumps and hiccups, they would go round and round

But after all it was true love had been found

Tommy didn't take the bad news very well

He shouted why to God and almost cursed his name

I hope for this good man it was natural causes

Cause I think he just might kill the one who's to blame

The memorial was a testament indeed

The food was lukewarm, the DVDs skipped and stopped

The music stumbled along with karaoke leads

And the truth is it was a clumsy, beautiful thing

The hall was filled well beyond capacity

With many good people who knew her better than me

Ninety-nine red balloons flying until they popped

She used to play that song till they begged her to stop
