Canción con un sonido netamente americano que interpreta el tipo de la voz ronca y rasgada. Perteneciente al álbum Tunnel of Love, el primero tras el éxito de Born in the USA y que incluye temas populares como Brilliant Disguise, Tougher than the Rest o la misma Tunnel of Love que da título al disco.
Como anécdota me gustaría comentar que Springsteen decidió prescindir de la E-Street Band como acompañantes oficiales (aunque participaran ocasionalmente en algunas canciones) y buena parte de la percusión está creada con una caja de ritmos.
Este vinilo lo compré con mi hermano cuando teníamos unos 13 o 14 años. Recuerdo que tuvimos la genial idea de grabarlo en cinta para después decirle al tipo de la tienda que lo teníamos repetido y nos lo cambiara por otro. 2 x 1. El dependiente nos dijo que trajéramos el repetido y nos lo cambiaba. Y eso no ocurrió, claro.

Bobby said he'd pull out Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby it wasn't any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day
Bobby got scared and he ran away
Jane moved in with her ma out on Shawnee Lake
She sighed Ma sometimes my whole life feels like one big mistake
She settled in in a back room time passed on
Later that winter a son came along
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
Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
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
Spare parts
And broken hearts
Keep the world turnin' around
