Breakdown (A Long Way From Home) (Album Version)

by Kris Kristofferson

Lyrics
The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leaving
There's nobody, nobody knows on the street
A few stranded souls standing cold at the station
And nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep

Lord, would you look at you now that you're here? Ain't you
Proud of your peers and the long way you've come?
All alone all the way on your own, who's to say
That you've thrown it away for a song?
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home

So it's so long, there's so many so far behind you
Fair-weather friends that you no longer know
You still got the same lonely songs to remind you
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago

Lord, would you look at you now that you're here? Ain't you
Proud of your peers and the long way you've come?
All alone all the way on your own, who's to say
That you've thrown it away for a song?
Boy, you've sure come a long way from home
