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

Like a madman I'm up in the morning, Headin' for the walls of heartache. Working everyday, bringing home a/the pail of heartbreak. You look down and the walls are higher* They are built from the tears you're cryin. Oh, I got to bring it back, I'm workin' til the day I'm dyin (oh, yeah!) Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby I'm a carpenter of love and affection! Breaking down the walls of heartache, baby Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears And build you up a house of love. Yeah! Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby Shakin' down the walls of heartache! Shakin' down the walls of heartache! Brick by brick, I'm tearin' them down! Yeah, lonely night, my name is given(?) Chip-chippin' at the walls of heartache. Callin' out your name. Go with a pail of heartbreak And the faces there before me, Writing on and no tomorrow? Your letter of goodbye, Is written on the walls of the heartache. Oh yeah! Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby I'm a carpenter of love and affection Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby Got to tear down all the loneliness and tears And build you up a house of love. Yeah! Breakin' down the walls of heartache, baby. (Yeah yeah!) Shakin' down the walls of heartache! Shakin' down the walls of heartache! Shakin' down the walls of heartache! Tearin' them down, Tearin' them down, Watch me baby! I'm a carpenter! A carpenter of love! Love and affection! Brick by brick, tearing them down!

What I've got I don't want All it does is hover and taunt Reminding me what I used to be What I may never be again Turns out what I'm good at doin Is making something out of the ruin Borrow this wasted space that could never be replaced Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. If my wheels were square, but the earth was jagged I rode along, it'd be no less ragged And seems to be the day I'm usually this way Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal. I wish every harder day only took an hour And I'm not just like the people I resent I wish someday I could truly be a power Say exactly what it is I meant All I have that's in abundance Is my perpetual redundance It's hard for me to say, I face it everyday Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Learn it all again tomorrow, learn it all again tomorrow Nothing I have you can borrow or steal Yes I think we have a deal.

Won me in a poker game Lost me in a bet Then you got the nerve To turn around and get upset Movin' on Movin' on You practice law without a license Psychology too But your PHD is in giving me the blues Movin' on Movin' on Go to third world countries Kicking three-legged dogs And by three PM You're living high on the hog Held out for so long Movin' on You may have learned to hustle But you never learned to dance When you fight the law You don't get a second chance I may be right I may be wrong Movin' on You get away with murder You got a way with words Speaking in a language That nobody's ever heard Just singin' that same old song Movin' on Ten reasons to stay here Eleven to leave Not waiting around For you to give me a reprieve No more stringing this along Movin' on
