Sugarland - Already Gone lyrics

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

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
And lay out late with a boy
Make the mistakes that she made
Life is a runaway train
His dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his touch
Life is a runaway train you
Can't wait to jump on
