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
