Runnin’ Just in Case lyrics

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

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

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 cumbersome

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

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

I carry them around with me

I don't mind having scars

Happiness ain't prison

But there's freedom in a broken heart
