Mile marker 203 The gas gauge leaning on the edge of E I'll be danged if the rain ain't pouring down Something smoking underneath the hood It's a-banging and a-clanging and it can't be good It's another 50 miles to the nearest town Everything I own is in the back in a Hefty bag I'm outta cigarettes and I'm down to my last drag
[Chorus:] I'd sure hate to break down here Nothing up ahead or in the rear-view mirror Out in the middle of nowhere, knowing I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rolling God help me keep me moving somehow Don't let me start wishing I was with him now I've made it this far without crying a single tear I'd sure hate to break down here
Under fifty-thousand miles ago Before the bad blood and busted radio You said I was all you'd ever need Love is blind and little did I know That you were just another dead-end road Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams Baby leaving you is easier than being gone I don't know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong
[Repeat Chorus Twice]
It's too late to turn around I'd sure hate to break down here
