Broken Down Dream

The cold wind blows across Ohio
Car wheels speed across the fallen snow
Three days… nothin’ much to show
Oh, I left you back in Ohio

Nothings gonna change the way I feel
Chasing ‘round this broken down dream
You’ve got to guard your heart to keep on going
Harden your heart till it’s made of stone

Stepped outside ‘bout half awake
Just what I wanted, I never could say
Shadows fall across your face
In my rear view, mirror as I drive away

Nothings gonna change the way I feel
Chasing ‘round this broken down dream
Got to guard your heart to keep on going
Harden your heart till it’s made of stone

East on highway 91
Merle Haggard on the radio
The road draws me on and on
As the sun sets over Ohio


The truth eludes me, I confess
Can’t drown out this restlessness
Might save myself, might settle down
Might forget you in each new town

Nothings gonna change the way I feel
Chasing ‘round this broken down dream
Got to guard your heart to keep on going
Harden your heart till it’s made of stone
Guard your heart to keep on going
Harden your heart till it’s made of stone
