My Mama 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 hangout, make lots of noise
and lay out late with a boy
Make the 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 u 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 u lose your heart yet
but his dark eyes dared me with danger
and sparks fly like flame to a paper
fire in his touch burning me up
but still I held on
cuz I was already gone
I was already gone
I was already gone
life is a runaway train you cant wait jump on
The last time I say him, we packed up my things
And he smiled like the first time he told me his name
And we cried with each other 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
Hangout, make lots of noise
I was already gone
And layout late with a boy
I was already gone
Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train
I was already gone.
My mama mapped out the road that she knows
His dark eyes dared me with danger
Which hands to shake, which hands you hold
And Sparks fly like flame to a paper
In my hand-me-down Mercury
Fire in his touch
Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
