(david lee murphy)



There's a shutter hangin' from a window pane

The paint's 'a crackin' from the sun and the rain

I just quit carin' 'cause i'm all alone

My woman left me in a broken home with



High weeds and rust

Up around my truck

With a broken heart

In an inch of dust

Well i've seen it all

Boom turn to bust

And i'm bout to drown

In high weeds and rust



Well there's a tractor sittin' in an empty field

I swore i wouldn't do nothin' 'til my heart had healed

My friends say son get her off your mind

But when the bank comes lookin' for me all they'll find is



High weeds and rust

Up around my truck

With a broken heart

In an inch of dust

Well i've seen it all

Boom turn to bust

And i'm bout to drown

In high weeds and rust



Well black birds sittin' on the telephone line

Watchin' me layin' around wastin' time

Never thought i could sink so low

I can't believe i just let it go to



High weeds and rust

Up around my truck

With a broken heart

In an inch of dust

Well i've seen it all

Boom turn to bust

And i'm bout to drown
