Stray Cats Broken Man Lyrics

Broken Man Lyrics

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 baren 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 baren 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
