Baby, when your heart breaks down When you're low on lovin' and there isn't anybody around
You're gonna feel bad and you wanna 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 feelin' now
Baby, when your heart breaks down
Well, I left Cotton Valley on the 309 I give up my job on the gas pipeline
And I chased you across the country Like that's all I had to do
There was nothin' in the world would've changed my mind
You were the girl with the starry eyes And all those dreams that never had the chance
Of comin' true
Well, baby, when your heart breaks down When you're low on lovin' and there isn't anybody around
You're gonna feel bad and you wanna 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 feelin' now
Baby, when your heart breaks down
Well, I drove a long way to get hung up on Then I bought another ticket on the Grey Dog Home
And I'm back out on this highway I try not to think of you
And one of these nights when he says goodbye Just to see how hard you'll cry
You'll be tryin' not to want me too
Yeah, baby, when your heart breaks down When you're low on lovin' and there isn't anybody around
You're gonna feel bad and you wanna 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 feelin' now
Baby, when your heart breaks down
Well, 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 wanna 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 feelin' now
Baby, when your heart breaks down
When your heart breaks down
