[Verse 1]
First time I met you at a little house party
You was dancing with your girlfriends
I walked right up with a head full of Shinerbock
Said, "Babe, you mind if I cut in?"
We spent the night up on a roof top
Singing "Hayes Carll" just having a ball
I was pissing off the side while you were telling me lies
I guess shit ain't changed at all

[Chorus]
Struggle with the curse of a transient
I ain’t never put down roots
Every time I start to get situated
I just tend to pack and move
I just tend to pack and move

[Verse 2]
Fogged in and I'm trying real hard
Doing my best but can't think straight
I spent the night up in the sports book again
With them chemicals burning my brain
Hey Lady Luck, baby
Do me a favor
Maybe blow a little kiss my way
Cause if those brothers don’t
Cover the spread
I don't know how my rent gets paid
[Chorus]
Struggle with the curse of a transient
I ain't never put down roots
Every time I start to get situated
I just tend to pack and move
I just tend to pack and move

[Bridge]
I drove a highway through them whispering pines
I've seen them desert stars shining at night
I made mistakes and swam in mountain lakes
And I've wrecked this heart of mine
I've got ahead and I've got hurt
And I'll probably end up fine
So if you’re lonesome like I’m lonesome tonight
Baby, you should just jump in my ride
You should just jump in my ride

[Chorus]
Struggle with the curse of a transient
I ain't never put down roots
Every time I start to get situated
I just tend to pack and move
I just tend to pack and move

[Chorus]
Struggle with the curse of a transient
I ain’t never put down roots
Every time I start to get situated
I just tend to pack and move
I just tend to pack and move
