1ST verse:

 My Mama mapped out the road that she knows

 Which hands you shake and which hands you hold

 In my hand-me-down Mercury, ready to roll

 She knew that I had to go

 and hangout, make lots of noise

 and lay out late with a boy

 Make the mistakes that she made 'cause

 she knew all along

Chorus

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 Life is a runaway train u cant wait to jump on

2nd Verse:

 They say the first time wont ever last

 but that didnt stop me the first time he laughed

 all my friends tried to warn me the day that we met

 girl dont u lose your heart yet

 but his dark eyes dared me with danger

 and sparks fly like flame to a paper

fire in his touch burning me up

 but Still I held on

Chorus

 cuz I was already gone

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 life is a runaway train you cant wait jump on

Bridge

 The last time I say him, we packed up my things

 And he smiled like the first time he told me his name

 And we cried with each other We split the blame

 for the parts that we couldn't change

 Pictures, dished and socks

 It's our whole life down to one box

 There he was waving goodbye on the front porch alone

 But I was already gone

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 I was already gone

 Hangout, make lots of noise

 And layout late with a boy

 Make the mistakes that she made, life is a runaway train

 My mama mapped out the road that she knows

 Which hands to shake, which hands you hold

 In my hand-me-down Mercury

 Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on
