Capsized Songtext

von Richmond Fontaine

I broke your back, so I'll break mine twice the same.
Ended up in some back room, where no one knew my name.
I drifted and I drifted, and ended up in Spokane
In a one room place above a bar, called The Grand.

I never called my parents,
I called my brother drunk too many times
Until he finally wouldn't answer his phone
Worried and uncertain I ran myself down
I ended up selling most of my things
I drifted and i drifted ended up in Wyoming
I got so broke I sold my car

I broke your back so I'll break mine 50 times the same
I hope your holding up alright you've forgotten my name
From Walla Walla to Stockton, from Yuma to Bullhead City
I get by alright

But I will cut every tie that gets close to me
I'll pay for my mistakes I'll pay for them you'll see
The only back I'll break is mine a hundred ways and a hundred times
For all the nights i was drunk and left you
Stranded and Capsized
