Broken Man Lyrics

Out at the train tracks on that fateful day

A broken man who lost his way

Pulled off of the highway to end it all

Parked right on the tracks and let his engine stall

The ground shook below him as the train rolled near

He pictured his wife and wondered if she’d care

He’d put her through hell than hung her out to dry

He was a different man when he met her, but that man had already died

What a broken man

Broken man

He jumped out of the car, ten seconds he had left

Dropping to his knees and failing this attempt

Like everything before he never took control

No he couldn’t even finish digging his own hole

The explosion from the crash blew that engine off the tracks

Took out a second train that was only trying to pass

The collisions killed a few and injured many more

He walked from this mess more broken than before

Oh what a broken man

He was a broken man

Broken man

Oh what a broken man

He’ll forever spend his days behind those prison walls

And he never will forgive himself for all the pain he caused

But for once in his life he’ll feel so secure

Not in control of his own fate, locked behind a cell room door

Oh what a broken man

He was a broken man

Oh what a broken man

He was a broken man
