Broken Down Soul
The message read on the bottle, “girl must be 21”
But rules had no boundaries, that girl was smart as they come
Sipping from a brown bag way down by the bank
Of that rolling white river where her innocence sank
Oh what a feeling, high as a kite
Spinning in circles beneath that bright starry sky
Oh Lord would she have done different now
Lord, had that girl only know
That she’d be picking up the pieces of one broken down soul
Momma said, girl he’s trouble, her girlfriend said he too wild
But despite all their wisdom, she loved that heartbroken child
Lord they met that December on a day grey and cold
On the wrong side of town where the tracks crossed the road
Oh what a feeling, high as a kite
Spinning in circles beneath that bright starry sky
Oh Lord would she have done different now
Lord, had that girl only known
That she’d be picking up the pieces of one broken down soul
