[Verse 1]
There's Gtrouble where I'm going but I'm gonna go there anywayC  
DI hate sunday mornings 'cause they always seem to start this wayG  
I'm Glooking for a lighter, I already bought the cigarettesC  
Guess I Dpicked me up a habit on my way out of LafayetteG  
GEastbound and down, I turn it up 'cause that's sure how I feelC  
My mind is Dracing through the pines, my hands are shaky on the steering wheelG  
I'm going Gnorth on 59 but I know good and well, I'm headed southC  
'Cause Dme and Birmingham don't have a history of working outG  
[Chorus]
What I Clost in Louisiana I found back in Alabama
But nobody ever taught me how to Emstay
It ain't Glove that I'm chasing Dbut I'm running just in caGse
[Verse 2]
I Gain't unpacked my suitcase since the day that I turned twenty oneC  
It's Dbeen a long ten years since then, it's getting kinda cumbersomeG  
The Gfirst one and the last one and the one that's got my name in inkC  
The Dsmoker and the fighter and the one in every song I singG  
[Chorus]
What I Clost in Lubbock, Texas, I looked for in all the rest
But I guess no one ever taught me how to Emstay
It ain't Glove that I'm chasing Dbut I'm running just in caGse
[Instrumental]
C Em C D
[Outro]
I Gcarried him around with me, I don't mind having scarsC  
DHappiness ain't prison but there's freedom in a broken heartG
