[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow]
Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking
Everything is broken

[Verse 2: Jason Isbell]
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything's broken

[Chorus 1: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hits the ground

[Verse 3: Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, Both]
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like I'm chokin'
Everything is broken
[Verse 4: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything's broken

[Chorus 2: Sheryl Crow and Jason Isbell]
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

[Verse 5: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything's broken

[Outro: Both, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow]
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Broken, broken
It's all broke down
Everything you see's broken, broken
Everything's broken, everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
