Sarah Jane

[Verse]
Little Sarah Jane said, "Dad, I'm not like that
And if you could take me right back
'Cause this town is like a haystack
And the needles are on the wrong track
Yeah, I been paying my dues wearing someone else's shoes
I been doubling back down someone else's track
And all these bad luck boys want porcelain toys
So, Dad, if you please, help me up from my knees
And little Sarah Jane walks down past her boyfriend
And she's looking to confront him
'bout the problems that have plagued them
But he flashes her a known grin
And so she schlepped along yeah forgetting what was wrong
Like the time before and the time before that
And if it comes up again he'll just give her his hand
Say, "Baby, it's fine. Yeah, yeah, it's alright"
But Sarah's got a kid and the father's out of town
But who knows when he'll be coming back around
Cries for a lover who could never be found
And little Sarah Jane's fed up with her life now
And the dreams that are alive now could die unless she tries now. To make it while she can with or without a man
Just the baby on her knees, all she needs to be free
She'll shine with the stars or she'll get buried in the bars
I've seen it before but she deserves more
