Lyrics

Go!

Broken wheel, broken wheel
I am so numb I cannot feel
Lost in a fog, can't tell what's real
This heart of stone will never heal
Tell me when someone will mend this broken wheel


I am a man who is running away from his last chance
And I'd like to think that I am a victim of my circumstance
The police are on my trail
I got a story I will tell


Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
I am so numb
I cannot feel
Lost in a fog
Lost in a fog
Can't tell what's real
Can't tell what's real
This heart of stone
Will never heal
And tell me when someone will mend this broken wheel


We were driving home
Down a back road that I knew so well
I heard his tires screeching right before he hit me
Like a freight train right out of hell
Yeah, she lay lifeless in the back
I had my hands around his neck


Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
I am so numb
I cannot feel
Lost in a fog
Lost in a fog
Can't tell what's real
Can't tell what's real
This heart of stone
Will never heal
Tell me when someone will mend this broken wheel


I got to keep on running
I got to keep moving on
Keep on running
Can't stay in one place too long
Keep on running
I got to keep moving on
I got to keep on running
No matter where I go she's gone
Yeah she's gone
No matter where I go she's gone

Bruce Springsteen: [Guitar solo]

I got to keep on running
I got to keep moving on
I got to keep on running
Can't stay in one place too long
Keep on running
I got to keep moving on
I got to keep on running
No matter where I go she's gone
Well, she's gone
Yeah, no matter where I go she's gone
Well, she's gone
Well, she's gone
Oh, she's gone
Oh, she's gone
No matter where I go she's gone
Yeah, she's gone
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
I am so numb
I cannot feel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
Broken wheel
No matter where I go she's gone
