Broke Down in B-F-E

Dust cloud in my rearview

Last sign I saw was two towns back

Phone dead, tank on a prayer

Dirt road jumpin’ like a heart attack

Flat tire on a Tuesday

Boots red from the clay and heat

Whole world on the interstate

I’m stuck where fields and fence posts meet

I’m broke down in B-F-E

Middle of nothin’ got a hold on me

Just a lost kid talkin’ to the wheat

Singin’ these blues to an empty seat

Yeah, life hit hard on this gravel street

But I found my voice where the maps all bleed

I was breakin’ down

Now it’s breakin’ free

Broke down in B-F-E (hey!)

Got a buzz from a warm beer

Pulled from a cooler that’s older than me

Sticker peel on the tailgate talkin’

About all the miles it used to see

Spit bars at the power lines

Let the rhyme ride shotgun with the breeze

If nobody hears this roadside song

Did it still put my soul at ease?

I’m broke down in B-F-E

Middle of nothin’ got a hold on me

Just a lost kid talkin’ to the wheat

Singin’ these blues to an empty seat

Yeah, life hit hard on this gravel street

But I found my voice where the maps all bleed

I was breakin’ down

Now it’s breakin’ free

Broke down in B-F-E (oh yeah)

Maybe this wrecked-up, jacked-up, last-luck stop

Is the first real thing that I’ve got

’Cause the sky’s wide open and my past feels small

When there’s just one road and a late-night call

I’m broke down in B-F-E

Middle of nothin’ got a hold on me

Just a lost kid talkin’ to the wheat

Singin’ these blues to an empty seat

Yeah, life hit hard on this gravel street

But I found my heart where the maps all bleed

I was breakin’ down

Now it’s breakin’ free

Broke down in B-F-E

Yeah, broke down in B-F-E (hey!)
