Baby, last night I was watchin my headlights flashin on the guard rail Now its early in the mornin and Im 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, shes never gonna make me stay Now Im ridin on the wheels of fortune Im spinnin like a weather vane I feel my shotgun when I see my shadow Its headed down the breakdown lane Headed down the breakdown lane Now Ive heard all the songs about the endless highway Sung a couple of em myself But the road aint nothin but a place to go When you aint got anyplace else Why why why would a man treat a woman that way? I say cry cry cry, shes never gonna make me stay Now Im ridin on the wheels of fortune Im spinnin like a weather vane I feel my shotgun when I can see my shadow Its headed down the breakdown lane Headed down the breakdown lane
