L. A. Break Down (And Take Me In)
Jack Jones
Standing here I put my foot inside the county line
Shaking at the doorstep of a life I left behind
I recall the love you gave me
It's strong enough to save me
Pictures of your face and eyes are flashing through my mind
LA break down and take me in
I'm so lost and on my own
LA break down and take me in
It’s my last chance, I'm coming home
One more ride and one more road and one more jug of wine
Crippled by my failures and the ache along my spine
Back to old forgotten places
Half-remembered names and faces
Putting all my trust and faith within that welcome sign
La break down and take me in
I'm so lost and on my own
La break down and take me in
It’s my last chance, I'm coming home
Gentle lady, with some help
Gentle I’ll become
Maybe things will loosen up before the day is done
Don’t be hard and unforgiving
It’s tough enough for me just living
Getting tired of being just a loser on the run
LA break down and take me in
I'm so lost and on my own
LA break down and take me in
It’s my last chance, I'm coming home
