I met a girl in Cleveland /

She taught me everything I needed to know /

But she took all my money /

She left me alone /

So I moved onto Mississippi /

And I, I tried to sell my soul /

But the devil wouldn’t have me /

He said take the train home /

I’m broke honey /

Oh I’m breaking down /

Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /

And I’m broken honey /

I’ve got no money to my name /

I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /

I’ll always need seven more dollars to ride that train /

So I moved onto Nashville /

They said they’d make me a star /

They bought me brand new clothes and they taught me /

To play the guitar /

But I just couldn’t sing /

The words that they wrote /

Because those stories didn’t feel like me /

And the words died in my throat /

So I’m broke honey /

Oh I’m breaking down /

Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /

And I’m broken honey /

I’ve got no money to my name /

I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /

I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /

I’m broke honey /

Oh I’m breaking down /

Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /

And I’m broke honey /

I’ve got no money to my name /

I just need seven more dollars to catch that train /

I’ll always need seven more dollars to catch that train /

I’ll always need seven more dollars to ride that train
