Break My Record is a high-octane pop-country album about heartbreak, survival, and self-reinvention. Across fourteen cinematic tracks — from the explosive opener Living on My Deathbed to the gut-punch grief of Snowstorm and the chaotic romance of Green Light — Brooke Jones captures what it feels like to crash, rebuild, and come back stronger. Bold, bruised, and unapologetically triumphant, Break My Record is the sound of breaking cycles, breaking limits, and breaking free.

Break My Record

I went outside again today
The clouds were still familiar gray
I'm praying everyday for May
The groundhog says it's far away

Powder blankets my front lawn
Hail pours down from dusk to dawn
The forecast told me to move on
If that was easy I'd be gone

I grab my quill, but I get a chill
From touching its frozen feather
The ink is thick, solid as a brick
You’ll never get this letter 

Are you somewhere so warm?
I’m stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

While I walked beside the icy creek
The hillside roared, the bank got weak
Snow crashed downward from the peak
God alone heard the way I shrieked

I tried to move but time stood still
My lungs collapsed, I took the spill
I didn't know how bad pain could feel
Now I see why you took those pills

From a branch, in the avalanche
I echo out into the void
Catastrophe, it's pure agony
Come back to me, come back to me

Come back to me 
(come back to me)
Come back to me
(come back to me)
Come back to me
(come back to me)
Come back to me

Are you somewhere so warm?
I'm stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground 
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)

Are you somewhere so warm?
I’m stuck in the snowstorm
The birds are southbound
I stay here year round
Like an evergreen tree
Fallin’ to the ground
If no one hears me scream,
does it make a sound?

Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)
Does it make a sound?
(Come back to me)

Snowstorm

She called him up
Said, "Christine saw you downtown"
He tried to bluff
She could tell by the way he sounds

Rambling, so fast, his breath is gettin' louder
She knows he had his nose down in the powder
He swears to God he’s gonna change today
The current's pulling him the other way

He's going under and he can't slow down
He's sinking faster and he's bound to drown
The water's rising and he can't get out
The rain's pouring but he needs a drought
Covered in mud and his battle scars
Drenched in blood, and seeing stars 
Coming from beyond the horizon 
He hears the song of the sirens

He called her back
Said, "The tide's gonna turn this time"
Her voice went flat
She tried to talk, but she just sighed

She loves him though he lies every time he speaks
He wants to stay, temptation makes him weak
He'll go to his grave saying he’ll change today
The current is pulling him the other way

He's going under and he can't slow down
He's sinking faster and he's bound to drown
The water's rising and he can't get out
The rain's pouring but he needs a drought
Covered in mud and his battle scars
Drenched in blood, and seeing stars 
Coming from beyond the horizon 
He hears the song of the sirens

The waves crash hard, the rapids pull
The island shore is lined with skulls
By the time he wants off the rocks,
it's too late to turn for the docks

He's going under and he can't slow down
He's sinking faster and he's bound to drown
The water's rising and he can't get out
The rain's pouring but he needs a drought
Covered in mud and his battle scars
Drenched in blood and seeing stars 
Coming from beyond the horizon 
He heard the song of the sirens

He heard the song of the sirens

The Sirens

I’ve been behind the 8 ball, I’ve been down on my luck
It’s been a long hard winter, and I wanted to give up
But it’s sunnier in San Diego, there’s stars out in LA
And I heard you might strike gold if you get baptized in the Bay

I don’t know
Where I’ll go
You might be gone
But you still live on

When I get behind the wheel
And forget the headlights
You must’ve had to tell me
A hundred thousand times
Good grief, girl, turn ‘em on
I’d just laugh and roll my eyes
Now, when I look to the passenger seat
You’re not sitting where you should be
But it’s still so easy to see
You’re alive inside of me

There’s no water in the desert, there’s no beer in the Bible Belt
There’s no way up from rock bottom, at least, that was how it felt
But there’s rocket ships in Houston, there’s spurs in San Antone
Handsome cowboys down in Dallas and lots of space to roam

Just God knows
Where life goes
I have no clue
But I still feel you

When I get behind the wheel
where you showed me how to drive
and our song comes on the radio
I know you're still alive
‘Cause I’m singing every word
Like we did when I was five
Now when I look to the passenger seat
You’re not sitting where you should be
But it’s still so easy to see
You’re alive inside of me

Oh, I’m gonna make you proud
The world's out there and I’m coming for it
And I can hear you saying right now
“If your dream's waiting, baby, floor it”

So I get behind the wheel
And remember the headlights
I'm so glad you told me
A hundred thousand times
Good grief, girl, turn ‘em on
I just laugh and wipe my eyes
'Cause when I look to the passenger seat
You’re not sitting where you should be
But it’s still so easy to see
You’re alive inside of me

When I get behind the wheel
where you showed me how to drive
and this song comes on the radio
I know you're still alive 
You taught me to be a dreamer
and you taught me to survive
Now, when I look to the passenger seat
You’re not sitting where you should be
But it’s still so easy to see
You’re alive inside of me

The Passenger Seat

I was riding around the outskirts of Dallas
When I stumbled on a bar called The Cowboy Palace
The man on the stage had a guitar and a tiger tattoo

I had nowhere to go, and nowhere to be,
Nobody at home was waiting on me
So when I saw him there, I knew what I had to do

I walked to the bar, ordered two cold Coors
Handed him one, he said, “What’s this for?
And why’s a pretty thing like you in this old saloon?”

So I told him…

Boys from the city can’t play Little Bitty
They don’t know Johnny Cash or Conway Twitty
and every time I ask, they always get it all wrong 
Ain’t heard of Hank, ain’t heard of Willie
They’re trying their best, but it just sounds silly
I’ve been waiting for a cowboy to come along
and play me a country song 

He laughed out loud then he tipped his hat
Said, “Darlin’, I think I can handle that”
Started with Strait then a tune by Brooks and Dunn
My head was bobbin’, my boots were scootin’
He couldn’t stop picking and I couldn’t stop moving
I don’t think I’ve ever had this much fun 

No, I don’t ‘cause…

Boys from the city can’t play Little Bitty
They don’t know Johnny Cash or Conway Twitty
and every time I ask, they always get it all wrong 
Ain’t heard of Hank, ain’t heard of Willie
They’re trying their best, but it just sounds silly
I’ve been waiting for a cowboy to come along
and play me a country song 

Play me a country song
Play me a country song
Yeah, play me a country song 

He said, “Girl, you better not leave alone”
I hopped in his truck and he drove me home
He asked what I wanted to hear and I just smiled
We were young and our friends were low
We blew out the speakers of the radio
Singing let’s take a backroad, let’s get some mud on the tires

Boys from the city can’t play Little Bitty
They don’t know Johnny Cash or Conway Twitty
and every time I ask, they always get it all wrong 
Ain’t heard of Hank, ain’t heard of Willie
They’re trying their best, but it just sounds silly
I’ve been waiting for a cowboy to come along

Boys from the city can’t play Little Bitty
They don’t know Johnny Cash or Conway Twitty
and every time I ask, they always get it all wrong 
Ain’t heard of Hank, ain’t heard of Willie
They’re trying their best, but it just sounds silly
I’ve been waiting for a cowboy to come along
and play me a country song 

Play  me  a  country  song 
Play  me  a  country  song

Won’ t  you  play  me  a  country  song?

A Country Song

I'm no good at saving face
I don't stay in my place
I ain't got no time to waste
I have things to prove
You're such a big disgrace
You left me without a trace
You couldn't match my pace
So you disapproved

For a long time, I was broken down
Wanted you back in my life
But all that changed last Saturday
when I ran into your wife

Dancing on the bar she got down bad
Doing body shots off Brad and Chad
Didn't seem to miss you very much at all
When they disappeared to the bathroom stall
I hate to have to burst your bubble
Nothin' 'bout that night was subtle
She was single, the men were double
And her t-shirt said here comes trouble

I'm glad that's off my chest
It needed to be addressed
So I could feel my best
Oh, it's my turn
You look so distressed
Like it hurts you to digest
The secret I confessed
Guess the truth burns

For a long time, I wanted revenge
Then she gave me the knife
I wrote this song last Saturday
when I ran into your wife

Dancing on the bar she got down bad
Doing body shots off Brad and Chad
Didn't seem to miss you very much at all
When they disappeared to the bathroom stall
I hate to have to burst your bubble
Nothin' 'bout that night was subtle
She was single, the men were double
And her t-shirt said here comes trouble

You used to call me white trash
But you sleep in the sewer
You'd need a holy water bath
to clean off that manure
You used to call me crazy
But a liar, I am not
I know what I saw baby
And what I saw was quite a lot

Dancing on the bar she got down bad
Doing body shots off Brad and Chad
Didn't seem to miss you very much at all
When they disappeared to the bathroom stall
I hate to have to burst your bubble
Nothin' 'bout that night was subtle
She was single but the men were double
Her t-shirt said here comes trouble

Here comes trouble
Here comes trouble
Here comes trouble
Here comes trouble

Here Comes Trouble

I dug my grave the day you died
Down in it, I tossed my pride
I didn't dare go outside
For at least a month or two

I was high like the crimson tide
I was a chicken that just got fried
Lived my life on one more line
The wind wasn't all that blew

I grabbed your keys and took the truck
It was dark but I didn't give a fuck
Somewhere else I'll strike some luck
I put the pedal to the metal and flew

This isn't regular roulette
I was rushin' to make a bet
Now, I've got nothing left
Hope it's enough to get me through
I can't go back in time
So I scratch the next line
Lost the lottery of life
Kentucky's not lucky without you

I drove to every place in town
Leaves changed from red to brown
like a wildfire on the ground
I'm at the mercy of the wind

I wound up at a house down the road
The hallways were bitterly cold
I felt you but I felt so alone 
I figured I'll never win again

This isn't regular roulette
I was rushin' to make a bet
Now I've got nothing left
Hope it's enough to get me through
I can't go back in time
So I scratch the next line
Lost the lottery of life
Kentucky's not lucky without you

At church, we used to pray
Lord, please let us get to May
But that was yesterday
It's just me in this pew
I confess what I couldn't say
Then I take off like a stray
But I can't find a better place
Nothing's left in the queue

This isn't regular roulette
I was rushin' to make a bet
Now I've got nothing left
Hope it's enough to get me through
I can't go back in time
So I scratch the next line
Lost the lottery of life
Kentucky's not lucky without you

I dug my grave the day you died
Down in it, I tossed my pride
I didn't dare go outside
For at least a month or two

Kentucky’s Not Lucky

All the best days of my life have passed me by
This messed up world still wants my best try
Give a hundred percent
You gotta pay rent
Drag your ass to church on Sunday, repent

I'm trying
Why does it feel like I'm dying?

I don't want to live down here but baby I'm stranded
These are the lousiest cards I've ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter,
I wear this shame like a scarlet letter
Painted on my head
Living on my deathbed

The doc gave one for depression and one for pain
I'm his prey in a dangerous game
And now, I've got bills
To pay for these pills
But I never get better, they're making me ill

He's lying
I still feel like I'm dying

I don't want to live down here but baby I'm stranded
These are the lousiest cards I've ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter,
I wear this pain like a barbed wire sweater
Hanging by a thread
Living on my deathbed

I'm filled with holes like a pair of old jeans
I patch one up then I rip the seams
It happens so much it becomes routine
Banished to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
So far down and there's no way out
I claw the walls and I scream and shout
Then I curse at God and he yells right back
You're gonna learn never talk to me like that

I don't want to live down here but baby I'm stranded
These are the lousiest cards I've ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter
Thought it couldn't get worse but I should've known better
Just like I said

I don't want to live down here but baby I'm stranded
These are the lousiest cards I've ever been handed
The rain pours down, the ground gets wetter,
Thought it couldn't get worse but I should've known better
Just like I said
I'm living on my deathbed

Living on My Deathbed

For a wrinkle in time, I held his hand
He was mine for a candlelight flicker
We fell faster than grains of sand
The hourglass just kept getting slicker

Since I saw his casket in the back of that hearse
I quit moving forward, started driving in reverse
Tell me is it karma? Or some ancient curse?
Will things ever get better? Or will they get worse?

Please keep me in your prayers, I've been known to swear
I'm a lonely daydreamer living in a nightmare
Fuck me, I can't wake up, I'm running low on luck 
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck

For a New York minute, I closed my eyes
When I woke up, a whole decade had passed
Through the shower steam, I don't recognize
the pale reflection I see in the looking glass

I'm living downtown in a penthouse on third
I'm the neighbor of skyscrapers and birds
Been talking to myself, cursing every other word
The walls are paper thin, I'm sure they overheard

Please keep me in your prayers, I've been known to swear
I'm a lonely daydreamer living in a nightmare
Fuck me, I can't wake up, I'm running low on luck 
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck

God damn it, this planet has water, wind, and granite
But I walk through the fire and I can hardly stand it 
God damn it, this planet has water, wind, and granite
But I walk through the fire, God damn it, God damn it

Please keep me in your prayers, I've been known to swear
I'm a lonely daydreamer living in a nightmare
Fuck me, I can't wake up, I'm running low on luck 
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck

So keep me in your prayers, I've been known to swear
I'm a lonely daydreamer living in a nightmare
Fuck me, I can't wake up, I'm running low on luck 
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck

I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck
I'm not looking for lightning but I keep getting struck

Looking for Lightning

Gentlemen, please start your engines
We’ll go on the count of three 
Buckle up, get ready for action 
Do you think you can keep up with me?

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, sounds so frightening 
I’m striking faster than Texas lightning

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

If you don’t like the heat, leave the kitchen
If you can’t keep the pace, switch lanes
I’m the leader of a no fail mission
Do you think you can handle the pain?

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, fire that pistol
I’m driving faster than Dale at Bristol 

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

Boy, you look dumbstruck
by my full scale invasion
Boy, this ain’t dumb luck
This is total domination

Vroom, vroom, vroom, ready or not
Pedal to the metal, give it all you got
Bang, bang, bang, shoot that gun
One of us is losing and I ain’t the one

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

You might be quick, but honey I’m quicker
The track is slick, but baby I’m slicker
My tank is full and the flag is checkered
And ain’t nobody gonna break my record

I said ain’t nobody gonna break my record

I know you don’t know me like that
But I remember the time we had
Dollar drinks at the downtown bar
When we left, I had to jump your car
Standing there in the parking lot
Couldn’t help my dirty thoughts
I want to tell you, but I better not
God damn, this man is smokin’ hot

If I leaned in for a late night kiss,
Tell me, baby, would you resist?
If I touched you would it be alright? 
Would you stop me? 

Or give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light

We should probably stay in the friend zone
But these days when you text my phone
I get a million little butterflies
Wait around for your next reply
I close my eyes and imagine your hands
While you tell me ‘bout your favorite bands
The Steeldrivers and Radiohead
Foo Fighters and The Grateful Dead

If I told you, I’m in love with you,
would you admit you want me too?
If I gave you everything tonight,
Would you stop me? 

Or give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light

Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light

If I blew through all the caution signs
Pushed the limits and crossed the lines
If I did it just to make you mine
Would you stop me? 

Or give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Don’t stop me)

Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Don’t stop me)

Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light 
(Green light, green light)
Give me that green light

Green Light

Holding hands through native lands
Just south of Oklahoma
Open road ahead, your face is red
From the taillights of a Tacoma

We're passing signs and passing time
with a Bob Dylan CD
When I nearly choke laughing at your joke
'bout how he can't stay on key

Then right there on the highway
You turn and look my way
And there's no place I'd rather be

I swear I don't care
How fast we get there
So long as you're here
In the middle of nowhere with me

Route 66, blue Pixy Sticks,
And old school road trip games
Nothing to do, but look at you,
The landscape's all the same

License plates from fifty states
You say, "Let's skip Hawaii"
Go to Idaho, but I tell you no
Taking forever's fine by me

And right there in the moment,
The feeling's so potent,
And there's no place I'd rather be

I swear I don't care
How fast we get there
So long as you're here
In the middle of nowhere with me

Darling, I swear
God answered my prayers
when he put you right here
In the middle of nowhere with me

We could just drive
For the rest of our lives
If we never arrive
That'd be just fine

I swear I don't care
How fast we get there
So long as you're here
In the middle of nowhere with me

Darling, I swear
God answered my prayers
When he put you right here
In the middle of nowhere with me

Holding hands through frozen lands
Just north of New York City
Open road ahead, my face is red
When you say I look so pretty

We're passing signs and passing time
With a Bob Dylan CD
When I nearly choke at that same old joke
'bout how he cant stay on key

Middle of Nowhere

I’ve been used and bruised underneath the skin
I’ve been outspoken and broken by jealous men
Who didn’t have a clue
But they made me black and blue

I’ve been burned so I learned to live on the rocks
I’ve been kicked and tricked so I changed all the locks
And threw out the key
So nobody could get to me

But then one day, you showed up in my life
In the darkest cave, you shined a bright light
And when everyone said she’s not worth the fight
Oh, not you

You made me feel brand new

I’ve been crossed out and tossed out like ashes in the wind
I’ve been cheated and treated like a means to an end
Like I was worthless
Like I had no purpose

I’ve been broke down, beat up, and drug through the street
I’ve been sanded, stranded, and stuck with no heat
For so long
I only wrote sad songs

But then one day, you just captured my heart
Took my tortured poem and framed it as art
And when everyone said she’s not even smart
Oh, not you

You made me feel brand new

Like a penny that’s never been spent
Like a rule that’s never been bent
Like a letter that never got sent
Oh, it’s true

Like designer clothes that still have the tags
Like the start of the race and I’m the green flag
Like I’m riddled with riches when I’m really made of rags
Oh, it’s true

Oh, it’s true
I love you

Because one day, you showed up in my life
In the darkest cave, you shined a bright light
And when everyone said she’s not worth the fight
Oh, not you

Because one day, you captured my heart
You took my tortured poems and framed them as art
And when everyone said she’s not even smart
Oh, not you
You made me feel brand new

I love you
‘Cause you made me feel brand new

Brand New

I can’t throw the farthest
My pencils aren’t the sharpest
Never been the smartest
Kid amongst the crowd

I sit in the backseat
Dance on my two left feet 
I’m not a world class athlete
But I make my country proud

The crowd erupts
The stadium roars
Cause I can do it better
Than they’ve ever seen before

I win gold in overthinking
Silver in relationship sinking
Bronze in late night drinking
Nobody does it quite like me
I’m addicted to practice
Like Jordan dunking baskets
Running down a rabbit hole
There’s no doubt I’m the fastest

The top of the podium is all mine
Baby, I’m the greatest of all time

I’m a modern day cynic 
I drive a beat up Civic
But if this was the Olympics
I could make the Earth quake

When I lose my marbles
I never lose my sparkle
The superheroes marvel
At the records I can break 

The crowd erupts
The stadium roars
As soon as I get finished
They start begging me for more

I win gold in digging ditches
Silver in scratching itches
Bronze in burning bridges 
Nobody does it quite like me
I’m addicted to practice
Like Jordan dunking baskets
Running down a rabbit hole
There’s no doubt I’m the fastest

The winner’s circle bar is all mine
Baby, I’m the greatest of all time

It’s clear to see
I’m not meant to be
The President or his VP
No, that’s not me
It’s no surprise
I’m not the guy
With a Nobel prize at 25
Oh, that’s alright 

I win gold in overthinking
Silver in relationship sinking
Bronze in late night drinking
Nobody does it quite like me
I’m addicted to practice
Like Jordan dunking baskets
Running down a rabbit hole
there’s no doubt I’m the fastest

I win gold in digging ditches
Silver in scratching itches
Bronze in burning bridges 
Nobody does it quite like me
I’m addicted to practice
Like Jordan dunking baskets
Running down a rabbit hole
there’s no doubt I’m the fastest

The victory lap is all mine
Baby, I’m the greatest of all time

The Greatest of All Time

It's a long drive home from rock bottom
My tank is running low
The road is rough, the treads are rotten
Maybe I shouldn't go

I pray while I'm sitting in the driveway
Hope I make the right call
I got used to doing things my way
Hasn't worked well at all

Window glass fogging up from my tears
Yesterday sits in the rear view mirror
I can look but I can't live there
I know you would say

Get up off your ass
Stop living in the past
If you want to go fast
You gotta give it some gas
Quit hitting the brakes
You have everything it takes
If you don't run the race
You'll finish last place

I'm scared to crash so I stay in the slow lane
Turn the wipers on low
I see the rain on the dash and complain
The weeds are gonna grow

I watch the water as it sways gently
Inside the cup on the console
I roll my eyes and say it's half empty
But it's more than half full

To be honest I know what the truth is
Told myself without you I'm useless
I'm tired of making excuses
I know you would say

You're right in your prime
Stop wasting precious time
Go dust yourself off
Stand on the starting line
Put that pedal to the floor
You got all you need and more
If you don't run the race
You'll finish last place

The snow will never melt
if the seasons stay the same
The May flowers can't grow
without the April rain
If he didn't fight Goliath
We wouldn't know David's name
The underdogs will never win
if they forfeit every game

Get up off your ass
You've been living in the past
If you want to go fast
You gotta give it some gas
Quit hitting the brakes
You have everything it takes
These are some high stakes
History is yours to make

You're right in your prime
Stop wasting precious time
Go dust yourself off
Stand on the starting line
Put that pedal to the floor
You got all you need and more
If you don't run the race
You'll finish last place

Last Place
