Momma said you and die by what you say Church-going, families would always pay For a loose tongue - word of craziness It could all get us day
I was just a squirt, and I was 2 or 3 Out with momma - and at the grocery Hot and tired, I yelled out a word The look that gave me
Momma screamed, "My son mouth" gave a name to me She me
Trouble is as trouble yelled my name, it was: 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 school room, had a friend whose name was Mark, Dressed like a bird in our play Noah's Ark, Saw him standin' in a big feathered suit, I said "Hey Mark, you big duck!"
But that's not came out or how it sounded Next thing I I was gettin' pounded 50 classmates on the and fightin' Momma sighed "Boy, shut up!" She me
Trouble is as trouble yelled my name, it was: I don't sound dumb Trouble is as says Words make a mess Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
Weeks ago, lookin' cool a Lucky Strike into the barn with a guy who said his name was Mike Started makin' out when he he was in love, I said "Whoa! I wanna be friends."
Didn't know I said the other Mike a punch, the cigarette flew upward Barn caught fire, and chickens all runnin' I my life had come to an end
Momma was mad, saw her lit up with flame I made up an excuse but she "Careful what you say" Reminding me words are often cause for blame Then she grabbed me by the collar - called me by my name
Trouble is as does Momma my name, it was: I say stuff for fun Trouble is as says always make a mess Her son of a gun She me
Trouble is as trouble Momma yelled my name, it But I don't wanna dumb Trouble is as trouble Words always make a Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
Momma said, "Son your will never fit ya Careful whatcha say, cuz words will always git ya" Aw Heck!
