I once met a girl named Jane 
Passing through town on the Amtrak train 
Didn't have a ticket or a place to stay 
Knew that she was different so I helped her pay

She wore tattered shoes, drew a watch on her wrist 
Sang the blues as we cruised through the mountains out west 
Investing her questions, testing my patience 
Proclaimed we both singers I said technically yes 
Well, She didn't see a difference, and I didn't see a purpose 
To confer with a girl like Jane who was a burden 
She didn't know her birthplace said her mama was a virgin, A run away 
stow away- Jane knew the route, every turn 
But something confused me as we got to conversing 
Discussed matters politicin from Sioux Falls to Sturgis 
Jane worked in a cubicle, broke down, almost murdered 
Everyone in her building exaggerating I inferred 
Announcing now I hop trains, hope to see the world 
Plus I'm writing a book about my travels a page turner 
Used to make six figures but it ain't fix sadness 
It just paid taxes, Became a sheep and I had it

The locomotive stopped we parted ways with some passengers 
Til it was only Jane and I portraying panhandlers 
Illuminated by the moon we rode on through the night 
Tried to put up a fight, but had me mesmerized 
By which I mean the logic Janes wacky point of view 
She didn't try to force it on me in my mind I knew 
And listen cuz the story that I'm tellin be true 
Jane even lost her cool once yeah she called me a fool 
She said if I gived a shit your judgment would give me chills 
Confronting, proclaiming something bout existing for the thrill 
Between us, if this train derailed I'd be apathetic 
You so goddamn vain probably assumed I'm just some meth addict 
I ain't ask to eat or even look at your food 
Or go through your things when you used the restroom 
You boys defined by Material possessions 
To those without a clue in they brain or common senses 
We born the same and die the same just hop different fences 
All your life you've been slaving for a pension 
Since the beginning bet you figured out the end 
Twists and turns, Lessons learned in the wild Wild West

We pulled in half past noon to St. Peters 
Never saw Jane again never forgot about her either 
All aboard the Amtrak, I'm denied clearance 
Cause I argued with an empty seat the passengers feared me
