(Chorus)
Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
Now Janey walked that baby
across the floor night after night
But she was a young girl and
she missed the party lights
Meanwhile in South Texas in
a dirty oil patch
Bobby heard 'bout his son
bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' back
(Chorus)
Janey heard about a woman over
in Calverton
Put her baby in the river
let the river roll on
She looked at her boy in the
crib where he lay
Got down on her knees cried
till she prayed
Mist was on the water low
run the tide
Janey held her son down at
the riverside
Waist deep in water how bright
the sun shone
She lifted him in her arms
and carried him home
As he lay sleeping in her
bed Janey took a look around at everything
Went to a drawer in her bureau
and got out her old engagement ring
Took out her wedding dress
tied that ring up in its sash
Went straight down to the
pawn shop man and walked out with some good cold cash
(Chorus)
