Story behind the song
Originally written in Nov 1993. The song has gone through many transformations. At first it was just a girl panhandling on the street by a preacher man. After many revisions, the preacher man is finally the girl's drug pusher man.
Lyrics
SUCH A LONELY GIRL/ SHE LOOKS INSANE/
HOLDING OUT HER HAND/ TO EASE HER PAIN./
TAKING MONEY IN A CAN/ TRYING TO PLEASE THAT LONELY MAN/
THE PREACHER MAN.
WITH A LITTLE LOVE/ AND A LITTLE SMILE/
WILL SHE TAKE MY HAND?/ WILL SHE STAY A WHILE?/
SANE JANE/ WON’T YOU COME IN/
SANE JANE/ WON’T YOU COME IN/
FROM THE RAIN.
SANE JANE, WON’T YOU BREAK THAT CHAIN OF PAIN/
SANE JANE, WON’T YOU PLEASE, TAKE MY HAND/
SANE JANE WON’T YOU COME IN/
SANE JANE WON’T YOU COME IN/
SANE JANE COME IN FROM THE RAIN.
SHE’S BEEN ON THE ROAD/ WITH A HEAVY LOAD/
ON HIGHWAY TEN/ JUST TO EASE HER PAIN./
TRYING TO REACH THAT LONELY MAN/
TRYING TO REACH THE PREACHER MAN/
IN THE POURING RAIN.
SANE JANE, WON’T YOU BREAK THAT/ CHAIN OF PAIN./
SANE JANE, WHY WON’T YOU/ TAKE MY HAND?/
SANE JANE WON’T YOU COME IN/
SANE JANE PLEASE COME IN/
SANE JANE COME IN FROM THE RAIN.
