[Verse 1]
Mile marker 403, the gas gauge leanin' on the edge of "E"
An' I'll be damned if the rain ain't comin' 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 sixty miles to the nearest town

[Pre-Chorus]
Everythin' I own's in the back in a hefty bag
I'm outta patience an' I'm down to forget the past

[Chorus]
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of somewhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop goin'
So, please help me, keep on a 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

[Verse 2]
Under forty thousand miles ago
Before the bad blood an' busted radio
He said I was all he'd ever needed
But love is blind an' little do I know
You were just another bump in the road
Made with pretty lies an' broken dreams

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, leavin' you is easier than bein' gone
I don't know what I'll do if anything more goes wrong

[Chorus]
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of somewhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop goin'
So, please help me, keep on a 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

Oh, no..

[Chorus]
I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' ahead or in the rear view mirror
Out in the middle of somewhere, knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop goin'
So, please help me, keep on a 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,

Mile marker four... fifteen...n
