This line appears to indicate that the song is from the perspective of Janie's child. The one who has "got a lot of nerve" is probably the father, possibly just a boyfriend. The song is written by Andrew Cash, whose brother Peter played guitar on this album and sang a few of the songs, including this one (along with Andy Maize). I have no idea if this song is autobiographical in any way.
"She sits up and you come to her
With moistened lips
Your face is dry but your fingers drip"
This part may indicate drug use on the part of the father/boyfriend. Amphetamines or cocaine, maybe?
"Well I spit up and then they lie back down"
