Текст песни
A hundred miles from nowhere, the axle snapped
The rear end dropped, the chassis slapped
I heard the metal scream, then a deafening crack
Now I’m kneeling in the sand with a busted fact
No spare, no jack, just a twisted rod
And the sun mocking me like a silent god
Broken axle, broken axle
Leave me stranded in this gravel battle
Broken axle, broken axle
Now I gotta weld a prayer with a dying candle
Tried to drag it, the frame dug in
The desert’s hungry, it wants the whole skin
I beat the hub with a rock, I cursed the dust
I’d trade my shadow for a little trust
In the gear, in the grease, in the cooling rust
But the axle’s dead – it’s a pile of crust
The wind says walk, I say no
I didn’t come this far to let the axle go
Broken axle — I’ll be the welder
Broken axle — I’ll pull the boulder
I’ll use my own bones as a shoulder
Broken axle — I’m getting older but I’m not colder
