Lyrics
Broken Down and Worn
My friends keep on telling
Me to put you down
Say they've seen you leaving dooryards
Across the whole damned town
Well, I'm broke down
I'm broken down and worn
If you can't be my woman
I must be movin' on
You know I never had the feeling
That you would do me wrong.
Now I hear you're double-dealing
And the 'good ol' days' are gone
Yeah, I'm broke down.
I am broken down and worn.
If you won't be my woman
Then I must be movin' on.
SOLO (2x)
I gave you all I had
Babe. No, I couldn't give you more
But you won't see me crawling
On my knees across the floor
Crying, "come back baby".
No! I'm broken down and worn,
But if you can't be my woman
Then I must be movin' on.
While you were out (a)playing
I was home pacing the blinds
Just chasing down the notions
That were rambling on my mind
Sayin', "she's gone now".
Yes, I was broken down and worn
But you can't keep a good man
Down, down, down for too long.
