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
