Runnin’ Just in Case lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's trouble where I'm going
But I'm gonna go there anyway
I hate Sunday mornings
'Cause they always seem to start this way
I'm looking for a lighter
I already bought the cigarettes
Guess I picked me up a habit
On my way out of Lafayette
Eastbound and down
I turn it up 'cause that's sure how I feel
My mind is racing through the pines
My hands are shaky on the steering wheel
I'm going North on 59 but I know good and well
I'm headed South
'Cause me and Birmingham
Don't have a history of working out

[Chorus 1]
What I lost in Louisiana
I found back in Alabama
But nobody ever taught me how to stay
It ain't love that I'm chasing
But I'm running just in case

[Verse 2]
I ain't unpacked my suitcase
Since the day that I turned twenty one
It's been a long ten years since then
It's getting kinda c*mbersome
The first one and the last one
And the one that's got my name in ink
The smoker and the fighter
And the one in every song I sing
[Chorus 2]
What I lost in Lubbock, Texas
I looked for in all the rest
But I guess no one ever taught me how to stay
It ain't love that I'm chasing
But I'm running just in case

[Outro]
I carry them around with me
I don't mind having scars
Happiness ain't prison
But there's freedom in a broken heart
