Joe Cassady & The West End Sound - Broken Down lyrics
rate meIt was a broken down van in a broken down time
A broken down street with a broken down sign
In that broken down town.
It was a broken down beer in a broken down bar
With a broken down band who still acted like stars
In that broken down town.
He was a broken down picker looking for a fight
She was a broken down girl just out on the night
In that broken down town.
He had something that he needed to say
But every time he tried words just got in the way.
She just smiled and said "It's okay
It’s all been broken down.”
It was some broken down truth some broken down lies
Some broken down smiles and some broken down eyes
In that broken down town.
Pretty soon it was breaking dawn in a broken down bed
With some broken down thoughts running through both their heads
In that broken down town.
She had something that she needed to say
But every time she tried words just got in the way.
He just smiled and said “It’s ok it’s all been broken down.”
Now there’s a broken down carnival on the outskirts of town
Near the broken down mines with their holes in the ground
In that broken down town.
There’s this broken down kid pushing his broken down bike
Towards the broken down house of the girl that he likes
In that broken down town.
He’s got something that he needs to say
But every time he tries words just get in the way.
But she’s out waiting on the porch anyway
It’s all been broken down.
Now I’m sitting here thinking behind these high-rise walls
With neighbors I don’t know living down the hall
I want to break ‘em down
