Momma said you and die by what you say Church-going, God-fearing families would pay For a loose tongue - word of craziness It all get us some day
I was a squirt, and maybe I was 2 or 3 Out momma - and shoppin' at the grocery Hot and tired, I yelled out a word The look that gave me
screamed, "My son your mouth" Then a name to me She me
Trouble is as trouble Momma yelled my name, it I just say for fun Trouble is as trouble Words always a mess Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
3rd grade school room, had a whose name was Mark, Dressed a bird in our play about Noah's Ark, Saw him there in a big feathered suit, I said "Hey Mark, you big duck!"

Trouble is as trouble yelled my name, it was: I don't wanna dumb Trouble is as trouble Words always make a Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
Weeks ago, cool with a Lucky Strike Snuck into the barn with a guy who said his name was Started out when he said he was in love, I said "Whoa! I wanna be friends."
Didn't know I the other F-word Mike threw a punch, the flew upward caught fire, Cows and chickens all runnin' I knew my life had to an end
Momma was mad, saw her lit up with flame I made up an excuse but she said "Careful you say" Reminding me again: words are often for blame Then she me by the collar - called me by my favorite name
