[Intro 1]
[G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
There's trouble where [G]I'm going
but I'm gonna go there [C]anyway
[D]I hate Sunday mornings 'cause they
always seem to start this [G]way
I'm looking for a lighter,
I already bought [C]the cigarettes
Guess I [D]picked me up a habit on my
way out [G]of Lafayette
Eastbound and down,
I turn it up 'cause that's sure how [C]I feel
My mind is [D]racin' through the pines,
my hands are shaky on the steering [G]wheel
I'm going north on 59 but I know good
and well I'm headed [C]south
'Cause [D]me and Birmingham don't

[Verse 2]
What [C]I lost in Louisiana I found
back in Alabama
But nobody ever taught me how [Em]to stay
It ain't [G]love that I'm chasin'
[D]but I'm runnin' just in case
[G]

[Verse 3]
I ain't unpacked my suitcase since
the day that I turned twenty- [C]one
It's [D]been a long ten years since then,

The first one and the last one and the one
that's got my name in [C]ink
[D]The smoker and the filer and the one
in every song I sing
[G]

[Verse 4]
What [C]I lost in Lubbock,
Texas I looked for in all the rest
But I guess no one ever
taught me how [Em]to stay
It ain't [G]love that I'm [D]chasin' but I'm

[Interlude 1]
runnin' just in case
[G][C]
[Em][C]
[D]

[Verse 5]
I car[G]ried him around with me,
I don't mind having [C]scars
[D]Happiness ain't prison but there's

[Outro 1]
freedom in a broken heart
[D][G]
