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 cant wait to jump on
They say the first time wont ever last
But that didnt stop me the first time he laughed
All my friends tried to warn me the day that we met
Girl, dont 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 cant 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 couldnt change
Pictures, dishes, and socks
Its 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
