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
