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



Now I'm ridin' on the wheels of fortune

I'm spinnin' like a weather vane

I feel my shotgun when I can see my shadow

It's headed down the breakdown lane

Headed down the breakdown lane
