Breakdown Lane

(album: Early Tracks - 1987)

Baby, last night I was watching my headlights flashing on the guard rail
Now it's early in the morning and I'm still running 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, she's never gonna make me stay

Now I'm riding on the wheels of fortune
I'm spinning like a weather vane
I feel my shotgun when I see my shadow
It's headed down the breakdown lane
Headed down the breakdown lane

Now I've heard all the songs about the endless highway
Sung a couple of 'em myself
But the road ain't nothing but a place to go
When you ain't got anyplace else

Why why why would a man treat a woman that way?
I say cry cry cry, she's never gonna make me stay

Now I'm riding on the wheels of fortune
I'm spinning like a weather vane
I feel my shotgun when I can see my shadow
It's headed down the breakdown lane
Headed down the breakdown lane
