[Verse 1]
I rode the bus to work today
My baby gave my car away
And I got piles of bills to pay
I just can't take another day
I got no help around a home
So now I'm living off of loans
Sometimes, I don't know what to do
The only thing I know that's true

[Chorus]
I'm broke down, I'm held down
No help now, I'm broke down

[Verse 2]
I'm falling deeper in the drink
I think it helps me not to think
'Bout everything that's going on
It makes me numb when things go wrong
Another swig of alcohol
Until I'm reaching for the walls
If I can make it to my bed
I pray to God I wake up dead

[Chorus]
I'm broke down, I'm held down
No help now, I'm broke down
I'm broke down, I'm held down
No help now, I'm broke down
I'm broke down, I'm held down
No help now, I'm broke down
