Janie Runaway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Janie Runaway is a song by the rock group Steely Dan, which is featured on their 2000 album Two Against Nature.

At first glance the lyrics read like an optimistic love song, with the narrator singing the praises of his new love, but a closer examination reveals a relationship between a teenage (and probably underage) runaway and a jaded, wealthy, New York roué who, by song's end, part threatens, part bribes the girl into joining him for an out-of-state 'threesome' weekend with another young woman.
