Middle Of A Breakdown Lyrics & Chords By Krista Detor

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

And I need a cup of coffee and a cigarette
I need another cup coffee and a cigarette
I need a cup of black coffee and I’m out on the town, yeah
I gotta talk real pretty in the middle of a,

Maybe like that kind that wants to run around
Maybe a little like me in the middle of a breakdown

And I need a cup of coffee and a cigarette

‘Cause I need a little money

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,
‘Cause 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 ...
