[Intro]
C G D G
C G
D
G C
I've been carrying my trouble
[Chorus]
G
In this pack strapped to shoulder
D
Ever since I was a baby
G
I've been running from everything I know Don't you tell me
C
about my trouble
G
Nobody knows about my trouble
D
Nobody knows about my trouble
G C
Except for my baby and me
G C
I was born a cowboy
[Verse 1]
G
Way out west in New Mexico
D
Time's were tough, we had to let it go
G
We moved to town but they couldn't move it out of me
C
It was way down in my blood
G
Thicker than anyone understood
D
Nobody thought that I ever would
G C
Get away with the trouble in me
G C
I've been carrying my trouble
[Chorus]
G
In this pack strapped to shoulder
D
Ever since I was a baby
G
I've been running from everything I know Don't you tell me
C
about my trouble
G
Nobody knows about my trouble
D
Nobody knows about my trouble
G C
Except for my baby and me
G C
Well it didn't take too long
[Verse 2]
G
For the pills in the bottom of a bottle
D
To dig a deep grave with a shovel
G
And bury everything that a young boy needs
C
But I found me a guitar
G
One lonely night in a border town
D
My pain, I started to write it down
G C
But it wouldn't stay away from me
G C
I've been carrying my trouble
[Chorus]
G
In this pack strapped to shoulder
D
Ever since I was a baby
G
I've been running from everything I know Don't you tell me
C
about my trouble
G
Nobody knows about my trouble
D
Nobody knows about my trouble
G C
Except for my baby and me
G C
So I got the hell out of there
[Verse 3]
G
Made my way up to the big town
D
Checked myself into the lost and found
G
What do you know, my baby come for me
C
Now I'm living the good life
G
Away from all of the bad advice
D
I take every day like it's a paradise
G C
So people stay away from me
G C
I've been carrying my trouble
[Chorus]
G
In this pack strapped to shoulder
D
Ever since I was a baby
G
I've been running from everything I know Don't you tell me
C
about my trouble
G
Nobody knows about my trouble
D
Nobody knows about my trouble
G
Except for my baby and me
