Krista Detor Middle Of A Breakdown lyrics

Where were you darling when they came for me
Yeah, where were you darling when they came for me
Where were you darling when they came around?
When I was counting my steps to the middle of a breakdown
When the TV shows were all the same,
Painted metal on a rusty train –
New make-up, new shoes and a brand new dress
He said I might look pretty but my head’s a mess

When you talk like that and you look like him
And I’ll take a little spin in a brand new rig – maybe roll around
Running on fumes in the middle of a breakdown
And I need a cup of coffee and a cigarette
I need another cup coffee and a cigarette
I need a great big black cup – and I’m on the town!
I gotta talk real pretty in the middle of a,
yeah I need a little money
In the middle of a breakdown
Your daddy says, ‘hey...’
Your daddy says, ‘hey...’
Your daddy says, ‘hey boy, when you comin’ round...?’
Daddy says ‘hey’ in the middle of a breakdown
And I need a cup of coffee and a cigarette
I need another cup coffee and a cigarette
I need a cup of coffee and a ...
