Breakdown Lane Lyrics - Steve Earle

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

Now it's early in the mornin' and I'm 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, she's never gonna make me stay 

Now I'm ridin' on the wheels of fortune 

I'm spinnin' 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 nothin' 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

Headed down the breakdown lane
