There's trouble where I'm going, but I'm gonna go there anyway
I hate Sunday mornings cause they always seem to start this way
I'm looking for a lighter, I already bought the cigarettes
Guess I picked me up a habit on my way out of Lafayette
Eastbound and down
I turn it up cause thats sure how I feel
My mind is racing through the pines
My hands are shaky on the steering wheel
I'm going north on 59, but I know good and well I'm heading south
Cause me and Birmingham don't have a history of working out
What I lost in Louisiana
I found back in Alabama
But nobody ever taught me how to stay
It ain't love that I'm chasing
But I'm runnin' just in case
I ain't unpacked my suitcase since the day that I turned 21
It's been a long ten years since then, It's getting kind of c**bersome
The first one, and the last one, and the one thats got my name in ink
The smoker, and the fighter, and the one in every song I sing
What I lost in Lubbock Texas
I look for in all the rest
But I guess no one ever taught me how to stay
It ain't love that I'm chasing
But I'm runnin' just in case
I carry them around with me, I don't mind having scars
Happiness ain't prison, but there's freedom in a broken heart
