Kevin Devine Trouble
Trouble tracks me down
It's been draggin me around
Since my feet first touched the ground
And I'm kickin like a kid
Cause I can't get rid of it
And it's never going nowhere now
I duck-dodge to my left
I slide-step to my right
But it nails me every time
And I'm finished throwin fits
Yea, I've learned to live with it
Marching steady, straight, and by my side
And trouble makes no seam
Just sweeps in surgical and clean
Leaves me begging on my hands and knees
And she's always on the clock
But she doesn't only watch
Cause she wrecks me straight into my sleep
When I drift into a dream
And I'm sailing on some sea
Shootin' whiskey with my Irish bride
Til Amy Goodman wakes me up
I'm alone in Brooklyn broke as f..ck
Splitting headache and some bloodshot eyes
And I've known trouble all my life
And I'm sick of asking why
It's like screaming at a set of dice
They're gonna roll the way they roll
And man you're never gonna know
So gettin' crazy's just a waste of time
I just see trouble track me down
It keeps pushin' me around
Til I'm deep inside the ground
And then I'll smile in sleep
Cause in that box I'm finally free
And ain't no trouble gonna find me now
No oh oh, ain't no trouble gonna find me now
Ain't no trouble gonna find me now
