Mile marker 203, the gas gauge leanin' on the edge of "E"
An' I'll be dang'd if the rain ain't pourin' down
There's somethin' smokin' underneath the hood
It's a-bangin' and a-clangin' an' it can't be good
An' it's another fifty miles to the nearest town
Everythin' I own's in the back in a hefty bag
I'm outta cigarettes an' I'm down to my last drag

I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
I'd sure hate to break down here

Under fifty thousand miles ago
Before the bad blood an' busted radio
He said I was all he had ever needed
But love is blind an' little did I know
You were just another dead end road
Made with pretty lies an' broken dreams
Baby, leavin' you is easier than bein' gone
I don't know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong

I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
An' I'd sure hate to break down here
Oh, no

I'd sure hate to break down here
With nothin' up ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So, God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I made it this far without cryin' a single tear
An' I'd sure hate to break down
It's too late to turn around
I'd sure hate to break down here
