the song seems to be about the novel by william faulkner, Sanctuary, in which Temple Drake, the daughter of a judge, is kidnapped, and held for ransom by bootleggers; the words "leave me alone but don't leave me here" are pretty much verbatim from the novel; someone above commented that it sounded like she had been raped; this stands pretty well in context with the novel as well.
