Momma said you and die by what you say Church-going, God-fearing families would pay For a loose tongue - every word of It all get us some 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" Then a name to me She me
Trouble is as does yelled my name, it was: I just say for fun Trouble is as trouble Words make a mess Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
3rd grade school room, had a 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!"

Trouble is as trouble Momma yelled my name, it I wanna sound dumb Trouble is as says always make a mess Her son of a gun She "You're a heckraiser, son"
Weeks ago, lookin' cool with a Lucky Snuck into the barn with a guy who said his was Mike makin' out when he said he was in love, I said "Whoa! I just be friends."
Didn't know I the other F-word Mike a punch, the cigarette flew upward Barn caught fire, Cows and 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 "Careful what you say" Reminding me words are often cause for blame Then she me by the collar - called me by my favorite name
Trouble is as does Momma my name, it was: I say stuff for fun Trouble is as says Words make a mess Her son of a gun She me
