My Mama Mapped out the road that she knows
which hands you shake and which hands you hold
In my hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll
she knew that I had to go
And hangout, make lots of noise
And layout late with a boy
Make the mistakes tat she made 'cause she knew all along
Chorus
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
They say the first time won't ever last
But that didn't stop me, the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
"Girl, don't lose your heart yet"
But his dark eyes dared me with my danger
And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his touch burning me up, but still I held on
REPEAT CHORUS
The last time I saw him, we packed up my things
And he smile like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other
We split the blame for the parts we couldn't change
Pictures, dishes and socks,
It's our whole life down to one box
There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone
But I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
Hangout, make lots of noise
And Layout late with a boy
Make the mistakes she made, life is a runaway train
My Mama mapped out the road that she knows
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold
In my hand-me-down Mercury
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
