Driving in a small town
As snow began to fall down
I started to lose control
Swerving down a back road
When suddenly my car rolled
Off the lane

Annie Wilkes, she reached out
She was a fan so devout
She had read all my stories
What a friendly lady
But she's a little crazy
Now I pray
I could run away

I'd smash the window and run like the wind
If Annie had not made my misery begin
She made me write
A new book
Just for her
And broke my legs
Stuck in a dark room with nowhere to go
If I up and died there's no one who would know
I'm up a creek
In a bind
Why'd she go and break my legs?

Want a way to break free
Have a pair of good knees
Ambulatory motion
If my car had just stayed
On the road I'd have made out okay
What a fateful day

I'd smash the window and run like the wind
If Annie had not made my misery begin
She made me write
A new book
Just for her
And broke my legs
Stuck in a dark room with nowhere to go
If I up and died there's no one who would know
I'm up a creek
In a bind
Why'd she go and break my legs?

Spending all my time for her
Writing on a typewriter
Wond'ring if the cops ever find me, I
Gotta keep up my faith that one day
Annie Wilkes, she will pay

I'd smash the window and run like the wind
I'd put a shotgun to old Annie's chin
She made me write
A new book
Just for her
And broke my legs
Stuck in a dark room with nowhere to go
If I up and died there's no one who would know
I'm up a creek
In a bind
Why'd she have to break my legs?
Break my legs
Break my legs
