Girard - Broken Down Blues Lyrics

Broken Down Blues
Verse 1: I'm sittin' on the shoulder, engine's gone cold,
Car won't start, and my patience is sold,
Got my thumb in the wind, and my spirits low,
In this broken-down mess, I've got nowhere to go.

Chorus: I got those broken down blues,
No one around, just me and these shoes,
Engine's silent,( and my day's gone bad,)
Oh, I'm feeling low and a little bit sad.

Verse 2: Tried to turn the key, but it's just click, click, click,
Mechanic's number on my phone, but it's making me sick,
Roadside assistance,( they're running late,)
Stuck in this traffic, can't change my fate.

Chorus: I got those broken down blues,
No one around, just me and these shoes,
Engine's silent,( and my day's gone bad,)
Oh, I'm feeling low and a little bit sad.

Bridge: Got a flat tire and my battery's dead,
I'm feeling stranded, (just a few miles ahead,)
The sun's going down, and I'm losing hope,
Got a broken-down car, and a heart that's croaked.

Verse 3: The rain's coming down, and it's starting to pour,
In this roadside disaster, I'm longing for more,
A little bit of help, or a friendly face,
Just to get me out of this unfortunate place.

Chorus: I got those broken down blues,
No one around, (just me and these shoes,)
Engine's silent, and my day's gone bad,
Oh, I'm feeling low and a little bit sad.

Outro: I'm stranded here, but I'll find my way,
Through this breakdown, come what may,
In the rearview mirror, (I'll see the dawn,)
With these broken down blues, I'll carry on.
