I’m Broken Down  

Copyright A.G.Twanger AKA Andy Glanzman 

G             D  

Living the high life                                

C              G 

Got way over drawn                                                 

G                      

Collection man keeps calling 

                     D 

But the moneys all gone 

G                           D 

Lost the house in a flash              

C                      G 

3 bedrooms , 2 bath 

G                      

This American dreams 

                            D 

Gone out with the trash. 

Driving all night 

With no where to go 

Bm 

Suitcase is empty 

Em 

Got nothing to show 

                              C 

With no job and no prospects 

              D 

had to get out of town. 

                   G                     D  

And like this old worn out truck 

     G                 D 

I’m broken down 

      

The kids going hungry 

Just potatoes and corn 

Can’t keep the heat on 

And their cloths are all torn 

The road signs are faded 

Feeling so low 

Gas gauge on empty 

with a long way to go. 

Felling beat up and battered 

had to leave that old town 

And like this old worn out truck 

I’m broken down. 

Chorus 

Bridge

Bm                                 C           G 

Why does life got to be so damn hard 

C                           D                   G 

Why’s life got to be ……….so damn hard 

Instrumental - like verse 

 

I’m just one more poor loser 

Who lost a big bet 

Playing double or nothing  

On life’s wheel of roulette 

Windshield is blurry 

Rain coming down hard 

My goodbyes forever        

Please give my regards 

With nothing worth nothing 

have to get out of town. 

And like this old worn out truck 

…I’m broken down 

And like this old worn out truck 

…I’m broken down 

And like this old worn out truck 

 …I’m broken down
