Baby, When Your Heart Breaks Down

Baby, when your heart breaks down

When you're low on lovin' and there isn't anybody around

Well, you're gonna feel bad and you'll want to get back

The only good thing that you ever had.

Honey, when he turns you loose

And you keep on tryin' to forget him but it ain't no use

Well, then you're gonna know what i'm feeling now

Baby, when your heart breaks down.

I left appaloosa and my homemade wine

I give up a job on a gas pipeline

I chased you across the country like that's all i had to do

There was nothing in the world would've changed my mind.

You were the girl with the starry eyes

And all them dreams that never had a chance of coming true.

Well, i packed my bags, bought a guitar

I caught me a ride on an old grain barge

I'm floatin' down this river tryin' not to think of you

Now one of these days when it says goodbye

Just to see how hard you'll cry

You'll be tryin' not to want me too.
