Broken Man Lyrics - Singles - Stray Cats

Well, he walked down to the station 

With a pistol in his hand 

The heat was rising off the desert sand 

And it scorched the bairn land 

Well, he packed up his bags and he headed west 

With a dream in his pocket he would ride 

The heat was rising on the desert sand 

From the truth he couldn't hide 

Broken man, broken man with a pistol in his hand 

The heat was rising on the desert sand 

And it scorched the bairn land 

When he walked out of the factory 

With a pay check in his hand 

The heat was rising off the city streets 

And it scorched his careless hand 

As he headed down his lonely streets 

In his broken down part of town 

He crossed over the dividing line 

And swore he'd never be found 

Broken man, broken man with a pay check in his hand 

The heat was rising off the city streets 

And he scorched is calloused hand 

Well, he walked down to the station 

With a pistol in his hand 

The heat was rising off the city streets 

And it scorched his careless hand 

Well, he walked out of his office 

With a briefcase in his hand 

His greed has turned to bitterness 

Like so many broken plans 

He grabbed his coat, left his resignation on the desk 

He didn't leave a forwarding address 

The heat was rising throughout the land 

And through the night he ran 

Broken man, broken man with a briefcase in his hand 

The heat was rising throughout the land 

And through the night he ran 

Broken man, broken man with a pistol in his hand 

The heat was rising throughout the land 

And through the night he ran
