Booby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed inJaney had a baby wasn't any sinThey were set to marry on a summer dayBobby got scared and he ran awayJane moved in with here ma out on Shawnee LakeShe sighed ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistakeShe settled in in a back room time passed onLater that winter a son came alongSpare parts and broken heartsKeep the world turnin' aroundNow Janey walked that baby across the floor night after nightBut she was a young girl and she missed the party lightsMeanwhile in South Texas in a dirty oil patchBobby heard about his son bein' born and swore he wasn't ever goin' backSpare parts and broken heartsKeep the world turnin' aroundJaney heard about a woman over in CalvertonPut her baby in the river let the river roll onShe looked at her boy in the crib where he layGot down on her knees cried till she prayedMist was on the water low run the tideJaney held her son down at the riversideWaist deep in water how bright the sun shoneShe lifted him in her arms and carried him homeAs he lay sleeping in her bed Janey took a look around at everythingWent to a drawer in her bureau and got out her old engagement ringTook out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sashWent straight down to the pawn shop man and walked out with some goodcold cashSpare parts and broken heartsKeep the world turnin' around
