John Hiatt Fan Club, Part Deux

I blogged recently about John Hiatt's amazing song-writing; specifically, about how "Real Fine Love" was a love song for us older, happily married folks. Well, he can also do a crushing breakup song for us non-Gen-Xers too. This one stops me dead in my tracks every time it comes up on my iPod:

"What Do We Do Now"

Chorus:
What do we do now
What do we do now
What do we do now
What do we do now

When it's lying there with a busted heart
Like a piece of glass, where do you start
Do we pick it up or say goodbye
Is there one tear left for us to cry

[chorus]

What if I can't stay
What if you can't stay
What if I can't leave
What if you can't leave

What if I believed every word you say
What if you believed until today
Do we call the kids or call the cops
Can you hold me 'till this howling stops

[chorus]

Gimme back my steel, gimme back my nerve
Gimme back my youth for the dead man's curve
For that icy feel when you start to swerve
Give us back the love we don't deserve

'Cause we rode it long, we drove it hard
And we wrecked it in our own backyard

[chorus]
