"Janie's Song (American Heartbreak)" lyrics

Momma got angry and daddy got poor
And holding it together was a hell of a chore
Used to share a lot of love but it all went south
Ain't no getting it back, not now
And it's a hard thing to shake
Going from American dream to American heartbreak

Momma's still angry and daddy moved on, yeah
Paint peelin' from the fence little Janie's all grown
Daddy's got a new life, new wife, new kids
He only calls little Janie 'Come babysit"
And it's a hard thing to shake
Going from American dream to American heartbreak

Yeah Janie [?]
But it all went bust
She turns to the bottle like her momma still does
All they ever wanted was a man to just show love
Yeah!

Janie's on the street, that's the last I heard
Pushin' on a cart full of all that hurt
I wonder if her daddy even knows that she's stuck
In a dream he sold that went bankrupt

And it's a hard thing to shake
Going from American dream to American heartbreak
Baby, it's a hard thing to shake
Going from American dream to American heartbreak
