| I’ve been carrying my trouble
|
| In this pack strapped to shoulder
|
| Ever since I was a baby
|
| I’ve been running from everything I know
|
| Don’t you tell me about my trouble
|
| 'Cause 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
|
| Time’s were tough, we had to let it go
|
| We moved to town but they couldn’t move it out of me
|
| It was way down in my blood
|
| Thicker than anyone understood
|
| Nobody thought that I ever would
|
| Get away with the trouble in me
|
| I’ve been carrying my trouble
|
| In this pack strapped to shoulder
|
| Ever since I was a baby
|
| I’ve been running from everything I know
|
| Don’t you tell me about my trouble
|
| 'Cause 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 lonely night in a border town
|
| My pain, I started to right it down
|
| But it wouldn’t stay away from me
|
| I’ve been carrying my trouble
|
| In this pack strapped to shoulder
|
| Ever since I was a baby
|
| I’ve been running from everything I know
|
| Don’t you tell me about my trouble
|
| 'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
|
| Nobody knows about my trouble
|
| Except for my baby and me
|
| So I got the hell out of there
|
| Made my way up to the big town
|
| Checked myself into the lost and found
|
| What do you know, my baby come for me
|
| Now I’m living the good life
|
| Away from all of the bad advice
|
| I take every day like it’s a paradise
|
| So people stay away from me
|
| I’ve been carrying my trouble
|
| In this pack strapped to shoulder
|
| Ever since I was a baby
|
| I’ve been running from everything I know
|
| Don’t you tell me about my trouble
|
| 'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
|
| Nobody knows about my trouble
|
| Except for my baby and me |
