Nobody Knows My Trouble

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 'bout my trouble 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 And I've been carrying my trouble In this pack strapped to my shoulder Ever since I was a baby I've been running from everything I know Don't you tell me 'bout 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 And 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
