When artists like this don't explode.....there is something wrong with the music industry.... She should have been as big as Carrie....Miranda.....etc.
This song was playing was playing on the radio as i left my drunk and violent husband for the last time. I was broke and driving a Chrysler from Oklahoma to my sisters house in Georgia.........i have lived the fear of hoping i didn't break down......but it was worth every minute of it to escape the misery.
The first time I heard this song I was wondering about that, but then "leaving you was easier than being gone" made it clear that the car was just a metaphor for herself.
She dedicated this song to her mom who was making a transition from disturbing life to a happier new life and closer to her daughter. So much love, strength, and support is locked in the lyrics!
I’ve never heard that before and I’ve been a fan of hers for 20 years. Well I should say I’ve been a fan of this song anyways. But what a cool thing to learn. This song means everything to me. My life in a song. I listened to this song nonstop moving from NC to OH to start over completely along with no one I even knew in OH. Just had to get away from him. So happy I did it too. ❤😊
Mrs Mango since I was 13! I’m 28 now lol I still have her CD. Was the first one I put in my car when I started driving way back when. Her and Trisha 🙌🏼😍👏🏼
I was four when I met Julie, and she was amazing. I saw her in concert and everything, and she is my hero. She was really nice and didn't treat me badly. She played hide and seek with me, and stopped the concert when I ran up on stage with her. She wasn't even mad, I got to sing with her and she took me and my mom out to dinner, and still sends me the occasional card.
This song was playing on the radio after I left my mom in ICU for a break and her sister called to tell she had passed. I sure miss you Ma you were always my biggest inspiration and number one fan. Wish I could pick up the phone and hear your voice telling me I can get through this crazy shit I've gotten myself into. I know you are finally happy and healthy and I'm so glad I kept my shit together until you were gone. It's been a mess since you left, straight down hill and I'm praying for level place to come soon. See you when I get there...
I'll never understand why she didn't explode on the music scene. I know she was sick & I think she had problems with her label, but she is fantastic and deserved more recognition.
+Dirrtyvictory You are so right. She really deserved more attention. She is great. I remember when this song came out. Either CMT or GAC did a little documentary on her making it and other stuff. It's a real shame we don't hear from her anymore.
Even if you've never experienced this type of heartbreak, this gifted lady somehow makes you feel it. Unfortunately! I had the real life experience years ago, but I made it through. Bad things happen, but love your life. It's the only one you have.
This song will forever take me back to 19... when every thing i owned was in the back of my black mustang,... ranaway with my baby leaving everything and everybody ive ever known, with hopes of maybe arriving across the country to meet my dad for the first time, with nothing but 400 dollars in cash.... i made it.. good/scary times
Rebecca,love country music,love your comment,love this song,ashamed to say that as i post this reply, that itys the first time i have heard this,fantastic
I have to say, from a songwriter's standpoint, this is how it's done. Fantastic lyrics, brilliant wordplay, heartfelt melody, catchy hook, wonderful build...it's got it all. For those aspiring songwriters, listen and take note.
This woman is the total package, ●talented ●beautiful ●substance she deserves big success! Especially with the material she's put out. She's exactly what Country needs!
Julie is a very nice, down to earth, Christian lady. I met her on a few occasions, at an MS luncheon, and dinner. I could not even tell she has MS. I walk like I am drunk, but Julie glides, or sachets, her way around. She is my favorite MS speaker, and has a nice voice too.
gnitpeohseluj I agree with you! I loved this song years ago.... Stumbled upon it recently and thought to myself.... God how did I forget about this song?!!? Its so good
Can women who do not like music and singers be envious of this singer? Hmmm, wonderment is not wondering. Beauty os in the eye of the beholder, and the car isn't going to stay broken down, unless the mechanic wants to marry her. Singing along putside in the rain does cause a big black truck to stop a few seconds, to hear the words, to possibly hear better the singer no doubt. To find the title and recognize the quiet volume of singing since I can't seem to volumnize with the cellular button. Glad to help share the song with stramgers on the road.
I've been there...Hell, I'm still here! I was on drugs and i'm still battling the addiction. I listen to this song and it helps remind me of what I want in my life. Sometimes I think it would be so much easier to just go back to my old ways, but I have to stay strong and keep going. "God, help me. Keep me moving somehow"..."Dont let me break down here!"
reminds me of when my mom and sad split. I still remember all the sad heartbreak songs she played. she was strong though to be able to leave, I promise myself I'll never break down anywhere.
Kept me driving from Louisiana to back to my home In Maine...three kids by myself...but i didn't have a chance over a year yet to have a "breakdown " yet.... at least we made it back here in Maine (not that i was willing but for better good when it came to three kids)
Great song by Julie Roberts, and similar to the songs/music vids of Patty Loveless “Nothing but the Wheel”, Martina McBride “Cry on the Shoulder of the Road”, Sara Evans “Three Chords and the Truth”…and all after driving old cars like Ford Galaxies and a 57 Chevy. And they are all driving away from some guy!
Julie you should so rerelease this song now! Maybe it was bad timing but you are amazing and I can't understand why you're not killing the charts. You have been sadly overlooked somehow. Care bear Lorie rocks my socks just so everyone knows! God bless your career and I hope you get all you deserve!!!
I literally was singing this song in the car one night on the way to another town along with the song by Martina called " Cry on the shoulder of the road " , halfway home my car actually broke down and had to have it towed home the next morning. My fiance said I was never allowed to sing those songs in the car again. lol
This song reminds me of my wife. Even though its been 12 years. No matter the distance you will always be in my heart when this song is played ! Along with many others.
Been one of my favorite female country artist since I was in middle school, her music has gotten me through so many rough times and a few broken hearts!
Breaking up with the wrong person is a long journey in progress. We always need to be ever vigilante and on the lookout for breaking down, here, there, and wherever, especially during the early parts of the journey. We need to stay focused and keep moving forward. One day, there won't be such a strong need to think about breaking down and keeping a watchful eye on the rear view mirror and what is up ahead.. just a town left behind from the past. The more miles covered the further back the memories of yester- year becomes.
Ive been singing this song since i was a little girl and all i knew as a child was the pain turning to hope from the melody and as i grew and learned about growing through strength and resilience of puting yourself back together after heartbreak its become a reminder of how to keep going!
Haven't listen to this song in years.. Love this!! Reminds me of how strong I am.. This song was true in so many ways when I drove 1500 miles with my then 2 year old son. I had omega Oldsmobile will never forget ..
julie roberts is one of the most underated and unapreciated country singers. she has such a unique husky voice that is unlike any other female country artist around, as well as a unique style of music, which she writes. she deserves more credit than what she is given.
I’ll never forget when my Buick broke down to this song! Several months with head gasket sealer really broke you down! Thanks Kirby for teaching me to love a car no matter how boring and or needing constant attention. Our time was unfortunately cut short, but I hope to replace you someday! Kirby the LeSabre 2004-2016 13 years on the road, and all 180,000 miles enjoyed.
@@Iammadmaxofficial i absolutely love the song. It's highly relatable and extremely emotional. It expresses feelings that most females go through when leaving a bad relationship and it makes the song even better.
"baby, leaving you is easier than being gone"..... such a great lyric and so incredibly true of leaving any toxic relationship. leaving doesn't mean the love is instantly gone, those feelings can linger for so long after you've left and you can second guess your decision a million times, but that doesn't mean it was not the right decision
Roxanne Sanders 💯👏 yess ma'am . God already has our plan and we just have to leave it in his hands. If we split up it obviously was for a reason. And more than likely wasn't meant to be to begin with.
I bought this album and blasted it during an argument with an ex and he threw it out the window!! Bought another and got a way better man been 2gether 8 years and living and loving every minute!
This song doesn't apply to women alone....I myself as a male have had this song ring true about family, friends, women, and my own bad choices....I myself hate bringing myself to breaking down!!
this song makes me miss my friend craig! went through some horseshit times together! Even with nothing we met in musical understanding! Sometimes singing together is all the therapy one man will ever need!
Still listening to it's in June 2024

Yep yep
Still listing in 2024 hits deep!
20 yrs later and still hits the same way it did when I first heard it.
When artists like this don't explode.....there is something wrong with the music industry.... She should have been as big as Carrie....Miranda.....etc.
Skip carrie, but ADD : Jessica Andrews, Sara Evans, Faith Hill, Julie Roberts..
She was in the south. In Alabama we did.
She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
2024 and this is still a good one to pull up and listen to. A good country song!
If you haven't LIVED this song....You haven't lived any song.....Give it a try.....The heart break is worth it,,
it'll put hair on your chest that's for sure lol
This song was playing was playing on the radio as i left my drunk and violent husband for the last time.

Chris Thomas GO YOU!!!!!!
I left mine in 2002 and went to Georgia. Much respect to you and hope you are doing as good as I am!
@Mashalee Johnson Thank you sweetie!
Chris Thomas Good luck! You can do this!
i left her 2 years ago best thing ever done .i lost so much but i feel better now
Love how “I’d sure hate to break down here” has a double meaning in this song.
I know right. The song writer/s did a fantastic job.
The first time I heard this song I was wondering about that, but then "leaving you was easier than being gone" made it clear that the car was just a metaphor for herself.
You mean it's not just about a car?
Yeah I hate to break down here . 💕
Right around the corner there is a sandwich shop. They sell meatball sandwiches. The best I ever had.
IV always thought she had one of the prettiest voices in country music. 100% needs to be rereleased again.
She dedicated this song to her mom who was making a transition from disturbing life to a happier new life and closer to her daughter. So much love, strength, and support is locked in the lyrics!

Even if you've never experienced this type of heartbreak, this gifted lady somehow makes you feel it.
Unfortunately! I had the real life experience years ago, but I made it through.
Bad things happen, but love your life.
It's the only one you have.
What a voice and talent!!! It is shameful she isn’t a mega country star

Julie Roberts,Shannon Brown,and Kasey Musgraves are so under rated.
