[Verse 1] Mile marker two-oh-three The gas gauge leanin' on the edge of 'E' And I'll be danged if the rain ain't pourin' down Somethin's smokin' underneath the hood There's a bangin' and a clangin' and it can't be good And it's another fifty miles to the nearest town [Pre-Chorus 1] Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty bag I'm out of cigarettes and I'm down to my last drag [Chorus] I'd sure hate to break down here Nothin' up ahead or in the rear-view mirror Out in the middle of nowhere knowin' I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin' So God help me keep me movin' somehow Don't let me start wishin' I was with her now I've made it this far without cryin' a single tear And I'd sure hate to break down here [Verse 2] A hundred fifty thousand miles ago Before the bad blood and busted radio You said I was all you'd ever need But love is blind and little did I know That you were just another dead-end road Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams [Pre-Chorus 2] Baby, leavin' you was easier than bein' gone Don't know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong [Chorus] I'd sure hate to break down here Nothin' up ahead or in the rear-view mirror Out in the middle of nowhere knowin' I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin' So God help me keep me movin' somehow Don't let me start wishin' I was with her now I've made it this far without cryin' a single tear And I'd sure hate to break down here [Chorus] I'd sure hate to break down here Nothin' up ahead or in the rear-view mirror Out in the middle of nowhere knowin' I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin' So God help me keep me movin' somehow Don't let me start wishin' I was with her now I've made it this far without cryin' a single tear And I'd sure hate to break down... It's too late to turn around I'd sure hate to break down here [Outro] Mile marker two-fifteen
