"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
