Kevin Devine - Trouble lyrics

rate me

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 evening, Goodman wakes me up

I'm alone in Brooklyn broke as fuck

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
