I wrote this in the first few months of Sugar Still, so cool to have this recording with Sarah on lead vocals. She sounds so powerful and confident on this take, I love it.

lyrics

There's a 2-ton trailer in the yard in the driveway
Two goliaths hauling all my gear
They got wide leather belts on
Tools of the trade
They've got bulging muscles and facial hair
Well I tip my cap to the amply trained
Paid professionals who ease my pain

I got a broke down heart
From from dead woman's body
I got a broke down soul
From some dead woman's life
I got a broke down heart
I took down off the shelf
I got a broke down heart for myself

200 years doesn't make a nation
200 years doesn't make a town
I been sweatin' bolts watching from the stairwell
Creaking joints from the neck brace down
A ten ton scale's taking all my toll money
Uncontrolled currency just flying around

I got a broke down heart
From from dead woman's body
I got a broke down soul
From some dead woman's life
I got a broke down heart
I took down off the shelf
I got a broke down heart for myself

All I've got left from this torn up tire fire
All I got left from this broke down house
All I got left from this ramshackle tent circle
All I got left from this burned down palace

Is a broke down heart
From from dead woman's body
I got a broke down soul
From some dead woman's life
I got a broke down heart
I took down off the shelf
I got a broke down heart for myself
