Stop Breaking Down Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't walk the streets now, to consolate my mind
Some pretty mama, she starts breaking down

[Chorus]
Stop breaking down, stop breaking down
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

[Verse 2]
You Saturday night women, you love to ape and clown
You won't do nothing but tear a good man's reputation down

[Chorus]
Stop breaking down, stop breaking down
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Well, it'll make you lose your mind

[Verse 3]
I gave my baby the ninety-ninth degree
She jumped up to throw a pistol down on me

[Chorus]
Stop breaking down, stop breaking down
The stuff I got is gonna bust your brains out
Yeah, it'll make you lose your mind

About

A Robert Johnson cover song that was also covered by the Rolling Stones on Exile on Main Street

With Stop Breaking Down. You know, I’d heard “Exile on Main Street” before but didn’t own it and so had actually never heard the Rolling Stones version of Stop (laughs) until after our LP came out

The reason we originally recorded that was because we were going to put it on the B-side of a single with The Big Three Killed My Baby, make it a whole anti-automotive 45.
