|
I've been carrying my trouble |
|
In this pack strapped to shoulder |
|
Ever since I was a baby |
|
I've been running from everything I know |
|
Don't you tell me about my trouble |
|
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Except for my baby and me |
|
I was born a cowboy |
|
Way out west in New Mexico |
|
Time's were tough, we had to let it go |
|
We moved to town but they couldn't move it out of me |
|
It was way down in my blood |
|
Thicker than anyone understood |
|
Nobody thought that I ever would |
|
Get away with the trouble in me |
|
I've been carrying my trouble |
|
In this pack strapped to shoulder |
|
Ever since I was a baby |
|
I've been running from everything I know |
|
Don't you tell me about my trouble |
|
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Except for my baby and me |
|
Well it didn't take too long |
|
For the pills and the bottom of a bottle |
|
To dig a deep grave with a shovel |
|
And bury everything that a young boy needs |
|
But I found me a guitar |
|
One lonely night in a border town |
|
My pain, I started to right it down |
|
But it wouldn't stay away from me |
|
I've been carrying my trouble |
|
In this pack strapped to shoulder |
|
Ever since I was a baby |
|
I've been running from everything I know |
|
Don't you tell me about my trouble |
|
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Except for my baby and me |
|
So I got the hell out of there |
|
Made my way up to the big town |
|
Checked myself into the lost and found |
|
What do you know, my baby come for me |
|
Now I'm living the good life |
|
Away from all of the bad advice |
|
I take every day like it's a paradise |
|
So people stay away from me |
|
I've been carrying my trouble |
|
In this pack strapped to shoulder |
|
Ever since I was a baby |
|
I've been running from everything I know |
|
Don't you tell me about my trouble |
|
'Cause nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Nobody knows about my trouble |
|
Except for my baby and me |
