Iris DeMent

Break My Mind

Baby, oh baby, tell the man at the ticket stand

you've changed your mind

Run outside and tell the cab to keep his meter running

'cause if you say 'goodbye' to me boy

you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind, break my mind

You know I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh Lord

If you leave you're gonna leave this babbling fool behind

Baby, oh baby, come and get your suitcase off that scale in time.

Tell the man that you've suddenly developed a thing about flying

'cause if you say good bye to me boy

you're gonna break my mind

Break my mind, break my mind

You know I just can't stand to hear them big jet engines whine

Break my mind, break my mind, oh Lord

If you leave you're gonna leave this babbling fool behind

Baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby
