Brokedown Blues

VERSE


I’ve been runnin’ these ol roads since I turned left out of town at seventeen
It’s been a long ol’ stretch of white lines, keepin’ it between the ditches and the trees
No matter where I go, I always wind in a bind
Just tryin’ to get ahead, and everytime, I wind up further behind



CHORUS
Now, I’m sittin’ on the side of the highway
With these ol’ brokedown blues
Wastin’ money by the minute
I ain’t got no time to lose
I’ve been stickin’ out my thumb, waitin’ on someone
To come along, who’s walked a mile or two in my shoes
Sittin’ on the side of the highway, with these ol’ brokedown blues

VERSE
I’ve seen about a hundred cars go by, ain’t nobody stopped to see
No, they all stop long enough that they can gawk and point at me
Now I don’t mind their rubberneckin’, but won’t somebody give me a ride?
I need to get to where I’m going, man, ain’t this here the story of my life?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Tires and wires, burnt transmissions
I’m out of gas, what else am I missin'?
Always somethin’, everywhere I go
I don’t get too far, before I know

CHORUS
