Sugarland - Already Gone Lyrics

My momma 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

Chorus

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 burnin' me up
But still I held on

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

Last time I saw him, I packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other, we spread 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 wavin' goodbye on the front porch alone

Chorus

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

And hang out, make lots of noise
And lay out late with a boy
Make the mistakes that she made
Life is a runaway train

(Kristian)

My momma, my daddy
The road that she knows
Which hands to shake
Which hands to hold
My hand-me-down Mercury

(Both)

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