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 hangout, make lots of noise Lay out and hang with the boys 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 see 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 Hangout, make lots of noise Lay out late with a boy Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train My mama mapped out the road that she knows Which hands to shake, which hands you hold In my hand-me-down Mercury Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
