Broke Down
Slaid Cleaves

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 not 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 waiting 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
