BREAKIN’ DOWN Songtext
von Graham Barham

This Chevy′s seen some better days
This engine keeps on findin' ways
To slow down and run out of unleaded 87
Them bullet-hole rims are holdin′ rust
Send windshield crack keeps crawlin' up
The tread's about dead
Like there ain′t many good years left

There′s a few things on the road right now
Gettin' damn close to breakin′ down
Runnin' outta steam on the edge of town
And feelin′ way too far gone
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
Holdin' up a hood that′s blowin' up smoke
And swearin' up at the clouds
It′s just me and this heart and this truck breakin′ down

Still see green eyes in the rearview mirror
Regrettin' everythin′ that got me here
Wishin' I could call, say it′s all my fault
But I know it won't help at all


There′s a few things on the road right now
Gettin' damn close to breakin' down
Runnin′ outta steam on the edge of town
And feelin′ way too far gone
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
Holdin' up a hood that′s blowin' up smoke
And swearin′ up at the clouds
It's just me and this heart and this truck breakin′ down

I'm sittin' on I-20
Everythin′ runnin′ on empty
Kickin' myself for leavin′
Yeah, I need to turn around

'Cause there′s a few things on the road right now
Gettin' damn close to breakin′ down
Runnin' outta steam on the edge of town
And feelin' way too far gone
If you see an old boy on the side of the road
Holdin′ up a hood that′s blowin' up smoke
Swearin′ up at the clouds
It's just me and this heart and this truck breakin′ down
