Sherry had a pawnshop band of gold
A sink full of dishes and a love grown cold
'Long came a boy pretty as the devil
She took his hand, the whole thing unraveled
There's no turnin' round
It's Brokedown
Billy took the ring and jammed it in his pocket
Drove downtown and tried to hock it
Down to the bottom of Lake Ponchetrain
There's a love note carved inside a wedding ring
Brokedown, cracked and shattered
Left in Pieces like it never even mattered
Brokedown, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round
It's Brokedown
Ain't no tellin' where love goes
Maybe down where the Black River flows
Won't be comin' back round
It's Brokedown
Baby in the backseat and another on the way
Sherry thinks of Billy and at the end of every day
Spends her nights waitin' for real life to start
List'nin' to the sound of her double-crossed heart
Brokedown, cracked and shattered
Left in Pieces like it never even mattered
There's no turnin' round
It's Brokedown
On the other side of town two lovers lie still
Cigarette smokin' on a window sill
There's a picture locked up in an old suitcase
Billy closes his eyes, but he still sees her face
Brokedown, cracked and shattered
Left in Pieces like it never even mattered
Brokedown, torn and frayed
Ain't nothin' left you could give away
There's no turnin' round
It's Brokedown
BrokedownAnother day is going by
I'm thinking about you
All the time
But you're out there
And I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
'Cuz so many things were left unsaid
But now you're gone
And I can't think straight
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know I won't forget you
Together we broke all the rules
Dreaming of dropping
Out of school
And leave this place
To never come back
So now maybe after all these years
If you miss me, have no fear
I'll be here
I'll be waiting
This could be the one last chance
To make you understand
And I just can't let you
Leave me once again
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
Will you remember me?
'Cuz I know I won't forget you
I close my eyes
And all I see is you
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
I can't forget you
Nanana Nanana
And I'd do anything for you
Nanana Nanana naaaaa
I'd do anything
Just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
Somehow I can't
Put you in the past
I'd do anything
Just to fall asleep with you
To fall asleep with you
With You
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
There's nothing I won't do
I'd do anything
To fall asleep with you
I'd do anything
'Cuz I know
I won't forget you
