Broke Down
Sherry had a pawn shop band of gold
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold
Along came a boy, pretty as the devil
She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket
Drove down town and tried to hock it
Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain
There's a love note carved inside a wedding ring
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
Broke down, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Ain't no tellin' where love goes
Maybe down where the black river flows
Won't be comin' back round, it's broke down
Baby in the back seat, and another on the way
Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day
Spends her nights waitin' for real life to start
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
On the other side of town two lovers lie still
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
Broke down, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Broke down
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold
Along came a boy, pretty as the devil
She took his hand, the whole thing unravelled
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Billy took the ring, jammed it in his pocket
Drove down town and tried to hock it
Down at the bottom of Lake Ponchartrain
There's a love note carved inside a wedding ring
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
Broke down, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Ain't no tellin' where love goes
Maybe down where the black river flows
Won't be comin' back round, it's broke down
Baby in the back seat, and another on the way
Sherry thinks of Billy at the end of every day
Spends her nights waitin' for real life to start
Listening to the sound of her double crossed heart
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
On the other side of town two lovers lie still
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase
Billy closes his eyes but he still sees her face
Broke down, cracked and shattered
Left in pieces like it never even mattered
Broke down, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round, it's broke down
Broke down
