1st Verse

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

Pre Chorus

And hangout, make lots 'a noise
And layout late with a boy
Make the mistakes that she made
'Cause she knew all along

Chorus

('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

2nd Verse

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'

Pre Chorus

But his dark eyes dared me with danger
And sparks fly like flame to a paper
Fire in his touch, burnin' me up
But still I held on

(Repeat Chorus)

3rd Verse

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

Pre Chorus

Pictures, dishes, and socks
It's our whole life down to one box
There he was wavin' goodbye
On the front porch alone

Tag Chorus

But I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone...

Tag

Hangout, make lots 'a noise
And layout 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
