[Verse 1]
I've got latches for windows, handles for doors
Grinders and scrapers and sanders for floors
Rake for the gravel, chains for the snow
Always got the shovel, you never know
I never thought you'd go

[Chorus]
Man's broken down
Man's broken down on the slip road
Got a slipped load
And it's a hard shoulder to cry on

[Verse 2]
Hacksaws and hammers, brushes and mop
Then I've got the ladders up on the top
If something needs doing, I always say
You want it done the proper way
I need you to stay

[Chorus]
Man's broken down
Man's broken down on the slip road
Got a slipped load
And it's a hard shoulder to cry on
[Bridge]
Give me a minute, we'll be going again
Sound as a pound, right as rain
Right as rain

[Outro]
And it's a hard shoulder to cry on
To cry on
