"Runnin' Just In Case" Verse 1: Bm There's trouble where I'm going, but I'm gonna go there anyway Bm I hate Sunday mornings cause they always seem to start this way Bm G I'm looking for a lighter, I already bought the cigarettes Bm G Guess I picked me up a habit on my way out of Lafayette Bm Eastbound and down Bm C I turn it up cause that’s sure how I feel Bm My mind is racing through the pines Bm G My hands are shaky on the steering wheel Bm C I'm going north on 59, but I know good and well I'm headed south C Bm Cause me and Birmingham don't have a history of working out
Chorus 1: E What I lost in Louisiana E I found back in Alabama E A Bm But nobody ever taught me how to stay Bm It ain't love that I'm chasing Bm A But I'm runnin' just in case Verse 2: Bm G I ain't unpacked my suitcase since the day that I turned 21 Bm G It's been a long ten years since then, It's getting kind of cumbersome Bm C The first one, and the last one, and the one that’s got my name in ink Bm A The smoker, and the fighter, and the one in every song I sing Chorus 2: E What I lost in Lubbock Texas E I look for in all the rest E A Bm But I guess no one ever taught me how to stay Bm It ain't love that I'm chasing Bm A But I'm runnin' just in case Outro: Bm G I carry them around with me, I don't mind having scars Bm A Bm
