Breakin' It Down (Downtown Original) - Petalpusher

You don't believe that I love you And even if that was true Why just to keep our unhappy home I'm gonna try to pretend that I do And I'm breakin' down I'm breakin' down I'm breakin' down I'm breakin' down My baby she left me Said she ain't comin' back around And I'm breakin' down Oh, I'm breakin' down And if I thought that it was okay For a grown man to cry I would have filled up the whole mighty ocean When she said goodbye And I'm breakin' down Oh, I'm breakin' down I'm breakin' down Oh, I'm breakin' down Now my baby she left me Said she ain't comin' back around And I'm breakin' down Oh, one day you said everything was just right I don't see how, I don't see how it changed overnight One day you said everything was so strong The next day you turn to me and say It's been wrong all along Oh, one day you said everything was just right I don't see how it changed overnight One day you said it was so strong And the next day you said It has been wrong all along Oh, and now you won't even look at me You pass me by in the street and you won't speak I never, I never, I never meant to cause you any harm How could two people start so close And end up so far? I'm breakin' down Oh, I'm breakin' down I'm breakin', I'm breakin', I'm breakin, I'm breakin' down I'm breakin' down

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
