Janie rides to the hurting side of town

 She got up once and she got let down

Well I spit up then they lie back down

 She gets up and you come to her

 With moistened lips

 Your face is dry but your fingers drip

You've got a lot of nerve coming around here

Janie's mind does pirouettes inside

 For a host of brokers who can't believe their eyes

She nails dirt under the fingers with her eyes

 And then they charge out through the door

Into the night

Baptizing what they think is right

 And washing down the dirt with all their might

You've got a lot of nerve coming around here

You've got a lot of nerve coming around here

There don't seem to be anyway

 There don't seem to be a way

 Left the flowers on the ground

 You get pushed out of the way

Janie buys her fuel at the corner store

 She steps over the whores outside her door

 She has been a junk house fire into the sky

 You want to ask but you really know why

 And you think you can live while she dies

You've got a lot of nerve standing at my door

You've got a lot of nerve asking for more

You've got a lot of nerve coming around here

You've got a lot of nerve coming around here
