Breakdown Lane — текст песни (Steve Earle)

Baby, last night I was watchin my headlights flashin on the guard rail

Now its early in the mornin and Im still runnin like the devil was on my trail



Well, say why why why would a man treat a woman that way?

I say cry cry cry, shes never gonna make me stay



Now Im ridin on the wheels of fortune

Im spinnin like a weather vane

I feel my shotgun when I see my shadow

Its headed down the breakdown lane

Headed down the breakdown lane



Now Ive heard all the songs about the endless highway

Sung a couple of em myself

But the road aint nothin but a place to go

When you aint got anyplace else



Why why why would a man treat a woman that way?

I say cry cry cry, shes never gonna make me stay



Now Im ridin on the wheels of fortune

Im spinnin like a weather vane

I feel my shotgun when I can see my shadow

Its headed down the breakdown lane

Headed down the breakdown lane
