Bought ourselves a broke down, worn out, beat up mess of a home
All the walls are falling down but the foundation’s strong
The first time that I saw her, I went straight down to the bank
All my friends they said I’s crazy but I don’t care what they think
There’s something in the wind, like a whisper in my ear
Calling in a voice only I could hear, saying
Take me and break me down – build me up like new
I’m a wreck, I’m a mess, I’m a worn out shell
And if you don’t think my best days are through
Well then, all I need is you
Sitting in the driveway of that home is a truck from my youth
She used to shine like a diamond but now she’s black and blue
We used to fly out on that blacktop, man we’d let them horses run
Now it’s like she’s out to pasture, just sitting in the sun
There’s something in the wind, like a whisper in my ear
Calling in a voice only I could hear, saying
Take me and break me down – build me up like new
Cause I’m a wreck, I’m a mess, I’m a worn out shell
And if you don’t think my best days are through
Well then, all I need is you
I’ve had blown out tires and I’ve been through fires, I’ve seen a flood or two
Still I’m down on my knees, I’m begging please
Lord won’t you see me through
Won’t you see me through
Take me and break me down – build me up like new
I’m a wreck, I’m a mess, I’m a worn out shell
And if you don’t think my best days are through
You know there’s a gonna be a lot of work to do
And if you don’t think my best days are through
Then all I need is you
all I need is you
