Nobody Knows My Trouble

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

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

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 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 wouldn't stay away from me

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

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 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
