Emlee Jane was the girl who never had time to explain,
Lived her life in a whirlpool, cried if it happened to rain.
She had run away from home, only thinking of herself,
Mother's sick and so upset, they say she may never be well.

[A]Slow down, [G]Emlee Jane, [A]slow down, [F]     [A]look back, [F]look at [G]what you've [A]done.

And she said she couldn't love, she didn't know where to begin,
Changing like a bird in flight, she lived all her life on the wing.

[A]Slow down, [G]Emlee Jane, [A]slow down, [F]     [A]look back, [F]look at [G]what you've [A]done.

And she lay in bed each night, with men she met the same day,
Left next morning - no goodbye, and they never saw her again.
Then she took an overdose, she didn't feel tired at all,
when she died the doctor said that she couldn't take any more.

[A]Slow down, [G]Emlee Jane, [A]slow down, [F]     [A]look back, [F]look at [G]what you've [A]done.
