Breaking Down
I've got a car that's always stuck in the last gear
It starts and it goes if you leave it alone,but you can't steer
Taking it out for a Sunday drive on the backroads
It waits till I'm far away from home and the sun is getting low
Wouldn't know it?
She's breaking down again
Pulling her over onto the shoulder
Letting her under my skin
I've got a woman that I haven't seen for a good year
She's got a new job yeah I love her a lot but she ain't here
We've got a system and she's got it all worked out
But there's something missing she's forgetting that she can't live without
Wouldn't know it?
She's breaking down again
Pulling her over onto my shoulder
Letting her under my skin
I've got a car that looks real good with the top down
But it lost a tire and caught on fire in the last town
I've got a girl that's drying her eyes with a haiku
So I'm hitching a ride down thirty-five, gotta be there by afternoon
Wouldn't know it?
She's breaking down again
Pulling her over onto my shoulder
Letting her under my skin
