- Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in
- Janey had the baby, wasn't any sin
- They were set to marry on a summer day
- Bobby got scared and he ran away
- ...
- Mist was on the water low run the tide
- Janey held her son down at the riverside
- Waist deep in the water how bright the sun shown
- She nestled 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 the bureau and got out her old engagement ring
- Took out her wedding dress tied that ring up in its sash
- Went down to the pawnshop man and walked out with some good cold cash

- And start dyin' little by little, piece by piece.

- Your road is dark and it's a thin thin line
- But I want you to know I'll walk it for you anytime
- Maybe your other boyfriends couldn't pass the test
- But if you're rough and ready for love

- Well now on a summer night, in a dusky room
- Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
- Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
- In his mother's arms....
- In a world so hard and dirty, so fouled and confused
- Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
- I found living proof.

- Remember all the movies Terry that we'd go see
- Tryin' to learn how to walk like the heroes
