Ive been carrying my trouble In this pack strapped to my shoulder Ever since I was a baby Ive been running from everything I know Dont you tell me about my trouble 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 Times were tough, we had to let it go We moved to town but they couldnt 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 Ive been carrying my trouble In this pack strapped to my shoulder Ever since I was a baby Ive been running from everything I know Dont 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 didnt 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 wouldnt stay away from me Ive been carrying my trouble In this pack strapped to shoulder Ever since I was a baby Ive been running from everything I know Dont 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 Im living the good life Away from all of the bad advice I take every day like its a paradise So people stay away from me Ive been carrying my trouble In this pack strapped to shoulder Ever since I was a baby Ive been running from everything I know Dont you tell me about my trouble Cause nobody knows about my trouble Nobody knows about my trouble Except for my baby and me
