My mama mapped out the road she knows Which hands you shake, which hands you hold And 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 Making 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 flied 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 Last time I saw we packed up my things And he smiled like the first time he told me his name And we cried with eachother 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 Making mistakes that she made Life is a runaway train
