I met a girl in Cleveland /
She taught me everything I needed to know /
But she took all my money /
She left me alone /
So I moved onto Mississippi /
And I, I tried to sell my soul /
But the devil wouldn’t have me /
He said take the train home /

I’m broke honey /
Oh I’m breaking down /
Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /
And I’m broken honey /
I’ve got no money to my name /
I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /
I’ll always need seven more dollars to ride that train /

So I moved onto Nashville /
They said they’d make me a star /
They bought me brand new clothes and they taught me /
To play the guitar /
But I just couldn’t sing /
The words that they wrote /
Because those stories didn’t feel like me /
And the words died in my throat /

So I’m broke honey /
Oh I’m breaking down /
Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /
And I’m broken honey /
I’ve got no money to my name /
I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /
I just need seven more dollars to ride that train /

I’m broke honey /
Oh I’m breaking down /
Like that old Ford truck that I left just outside of town /
And I’m broke honey /
I’ve got no money to my name /
I just need seven more dollars to catch that train /
I’ll always need seven more dollars to catch that train /
I’ll always need seven more dollars to ride that train
