Lyrics:

She took the train for Mexico
To a land she didn't know
Just to change her point of view
And falling in and out of love
Around the towns has taken its toll too soon

She walks down a dusty road
Wearing the jeans her mama sold
She reads a letter that she wrote
Saying how well she's doing there
And soon she'll be able to care

Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Won't you just come on home?
Get on that plane
Little Eliza Jane

She's the dreamer of dreams
Counting the uncountable it seems
Now all her fair-weather friends are gone
She needs the words to finish this song
Making sure that they're not wrong
She needs a reason to go on

Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Won't you just come on home?
Get on that plane
Little Eliza Jane

Some people say life's a game you just can't win
But if you can't live with it you die with it
Little Eliza Jane

Little Eliza Jane
The beast in you could not be slain
Oh, little Eliza Jane
Won't you come back home again?
Hey, little Eliza Jane
Oh, little Eliza Jane
