Already Gone

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 hang out, make lots of noise

And lay out late with a boy

Make the mistakes that she made

'Cause she knew all along

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 you lose your heart yet"

But his dark eyes dared me with danger

And sparks fly like flame to a paper

Fire in his touch burning me up

But still I held on

'Cause I was already gone

I was already gone

I was already gone

Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on

The last time I saw him, we packed up my things

And he smiled like the first time he told me his name

And we cried with each other

We split the blame for the parts that 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

Hang out, make lots of noise (I was already gone)

And lay out late with a boy (I was already gone)

Make the mistakes that she made (I was already gone)

Life is a runaway train (I was already gone)

His dark eyes dared me with danger (My mama mapped out the road that she knows)

And sparks fly like flame to a paper (Which hands you shake and which hands you hold)

Fire in his touch (In my hand-me-down Mercury)

Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
