Breakdown On The Side Of The Road

Keep an open mind and set a line
That's the Northern going by - the best that we'll find
And that's the piece that gets lost - call it loneliness
You come in late and you'll be cleaning up a mess
And I said I could never understand,
Why don't you fend for your fellow man.
And he said, "Peace and quiet man is what I defend
and you can call me foe or you can call me your friend."
Why don't we just break down on the side of the road?
Why don't we just sit there and do what we're told?
it's just a bitter game that we never play
all being told, we got to do it again.
And it's a hopeless game that we all could play
all being said we're set to do it again.
Now I believe in doing everything right
Walking on the left and I'll be picking no fights.
I waste a little bit of every day
Wishing I'd be better than I ever could say
Now I wish you the best of luck
Stuck behind the wheel of a crashing truck.
Now move, money, be my friend.
Don't stop, baby. Do it again.
Why don't we just break down on the side of the road?
Why don't we just sit there and do what we're told?
it's just a bitter game that we never play
all being told, we got to do it again.
And it's a hopeless game that we all could play
all being said we're set to do it again.
Now what's the matter with you?
Man you didn't do everything right.
And I'm missing all there is around me --
Missing all around and the rest of my life.
We could sit way down, and ask for the civil defense
And I could possibly win when I'm flat on my face.
Why don't we just break down on the side of the road?
Why don't we just sit there and do what we're told?
it's just a bitter game that we never play
all being told, we got to do it again.
And it's a hopeless game that we all could play
all being said we're set to do it again.
Now I'm high, yes I'm high, don't you want to come home
I could do better than I ever could roaming
Now we couldn't stick around
The money, the money, wouldn't be my friend
Now it ain't about the money but it ain't quite bad
Cruisin' around feeling about half as sad
but I'm feeling down but all being said, set to do it again
Why don't we just break down on the side of the road?
Why don't we just sit there and do what we're told?
it's just a bitter game that we never play
all being told, we got to do it again.
And it's a hopeless game that we all could play
all being said we're set to do it again.
