  • I've been carrying my trouble
    In this pack strapped to shoulder
    Ever since I was a baby
    I've been running from everything I know
    Don't 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
    Time's were tough, we had to let it go
    We moved to town but they couldn't 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

    And I've been carrying my trouble
    In this pack strapped to shoulder
    Ever since I was a baby
    I've been running from everything I know
    Don't 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 didn't take too long
    For the pills in 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 write it down
    But it wouldn't stay away from me

    I've been carrying my trouble
    In this pack strapped to my shoulder
    Ever since I was a baby
    I've been running from everything I know
    Don't 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 I'm living the good life
    Away from all of the bad advice
    I take every day like it's a paradise
    So people stay away from me

    I've been carrying my trouble
    In this pack strapped to my shoulder
    Ever since I was a baby
    I've been running from everything I know
    Don't you tell me about my trouble
    'Cause nobody knows about my trouble
    Nobody knows about my trouble
    Except for my baby and me Writer/s: RYAN BINGHAM
