Halfway To The Breakdown

[Verse 1]

Got a pawn-shop suit

And a week-old shave

Spare change shaking

Like a key to the grave

Boss man smiling

But he cuts my pay

I keep counting up reasons

Just to walk away

[Chorus]

I’m halfway to the breakdown

Three bad choices down the road

One more push and I might lay it

All on overload

If I turn this wheel around

Will it save me or just slow me down?

I’m halfway to the breakdown

And the breakdown’s calling now (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

My baby’s eyes

On a glowing screen

Says she’s “fine”

But I know what that means

Got love on empty

And a full ashtray

If I don’t change something

I’ll just fade to gray

[Chorus]

I’m halfway to the breakdown

Three bad choices down the road

One more push and I might lay it

All on overload

If I turn this wheel around

Will it save me or just slow me down?

I’m halfway to the breakdown

And the breakdown’s calling now (hey!)
