And I've been carrying my trouble, in this pack strapped to my shoulder, ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me 'bout my trouble, nobody knows about my trouble,nobody knows about my trouble,
except for my baby and me
I was born a cowboy, way out west in New Mexico,but times were tough we had to let it go, we
moved to town but they couldn't move it outta me
It's way down in my blood, thicker than anyone understood, nobody thought that i ever would,
get away with the trouble in me
And I've been carrying my trouble, in this pack strapped to my shoulder, ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me 'bout my trouble, nobody knows about my trouble,nobody knows about my trouble,
except for my baby and me
Well, it didn't take too long, for the pills and the bottom of a bottle, to dig a deep grave
with a shovel and bury everything that a young boy needs
But I found me a guitar, one lonley night in a border town, the pain I started to write it down,
but it wouldn't stay away from me
And I've been carrying my trouble, in this pack strapped to my shoulder, ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me 'bout my trouble, nobody knows about my trouble,nobody knows about my trouble,
except for my baby and me
Well, I got the hell outta there, I made my way up to the big town, checked myself into the lost
and found and what d'ya know my baby'd come for me
But now I'm living the good life, away from all of your bad advice,take every day like it's a
paradise so people stay away from me
And I've been carrying my trouble, in this pack strapped to my shoulder, ever since I was a baby
I've been running from everything I know
Don't you tell me 'bout my trouble, nobody knows about my trouble,nobody knows about my trouble,
except for my baby and me
