[Verse 1]
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 that's 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 headed South
'Cause me and Birmingham
Don't have a history of working out
[Chorus 1]
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 running just in case
[Verse 2]
I ain't unpacked my suitcase
Since the day that I turned twenty one
It's been a long ten years since then
It's getting kinda cumbersome
The first one and the last one
And the one that's got my name in ink
The smoker and the fighter
And the one in every song I sing
[Chorus 2]
What I lost in Lubbock, Texas
I looked 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 running just in case
[Outro]
I carry them around with me
I don't mind having scars
Happiness ain't prison
But there's freedom in a broken heart
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 that's 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 headed South
'Cause me and Birmingham
Don't have a history of working out
[Chorus 1]
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 running just in case
[Verse 2]
I ain't unpacked my suitcase
Since the day that I turned twenty one
It's been a long ten years since then
It's getting kinda cumbersome
The first one and the last one
And the one that's got my name in ink
The smoker and the fighter
And the one in every song I sing
[Chorus 2]
What I lost in Lubbock, Texas
I looked 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 running just in case
[Outro]
I carry them around with me
I don't mind having scars
Happiness ain't prison
But there's freedom in a broken heart
