Runnin' Just in Case Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ColdCountryGir 

Cover art for Runnin' Just in Case lyrics by Miranda Lambert

"I'm going north on 59 but I know good and well I'm headed south 'Cause me and Birmingham don't have a history of working out

What I lost in Louisiana I found back in Alabama But nobody ever taught me how to stay It ain't love that I'm chasin' but I'm runnin' just in case"

I believe she is singing about how she doesn't expect her relationship with Anderson East to last (he's originally from Alabama). In the end it didn't, self fulfilling profecy?
