I broke your back, so I'll break mine twice the same.
Ended up in some back room, where no one knew my name.
I drifted and I drifted, and ended up in spokane.
In a one room place above a bar, called the grand.

i never called my parents i called my brother drunk too many times
until he finally wouldnt answer his phone
worried and uncertain i ran myself down
ended up selling most of my things

i drifted and i drifted and ended up in wyoming
i so broke i sold my car

i broke your back so i'll break mine fifty times the same
hope your holding up alright you forgot my name

walo wala(?) to stockton, from yuma to bullhead(?) city
i get by alright

i will cut every tie that gets close to me
ill pay for my mistakes ill pay for them youll see

the only back ill break is mine a hundred ways and a hundred times
for all the nights i was drunk and left you drunk and capsized, capsized
