(david lee murphy) There's a shutter hangin' from a window pane The paint's 'a crackin' from the sun and the rain I just quit carin' 'cause I'm all alone My woman left me in a broken home with High weeds and rust Up around my truck With a broken heart In an inch of dust Well I've seen it all Boom turn to bust And I'm bout to drown In high weeds and rust Well there's a tractor sittin' in an empty field I swore I wouldn't do nothin' 'til my heart had healed My friends say son get her off your mind But when the bank comes lookin' for me all they'll find is High weeds and rust Up around my truck With a broken heart In an inch of dust Well I've seen it all Boom turn to bust And I'm bout to drown In high weeds and rust Well black birds sittin' on the telephone line Watchin' me layin' around wastin' time Never thought I could sink so low I can't believe I just let it go to High weeds and rust Up around my truck With a broken heart In an inch of dust Well I've seen it all Boom turn to bust And I'm bout to drown
