That's When Trouble Begins

Album: A Coming Of Age [2010]
Author: Andrew Laidlaw

Seven-thirty and I got nothing left to give

My hope’s gone left with my joie de vivre and will to live a simple life, not for me

I don’t take nothin’ easy if I can do it the hard way 

 

Oh we got a long hot summer to wince through, Baby

But it didn’t take long to convince you when you were only seventeen 

And your heart would miss a beat for its country 

 

And all day long you tell me that’s when trouble begins

That’s when trouble begins, but if that’s what you want

Then maybe I could prickle under your skin 

 

Seven-forty and I got nothing left in me for small talk

Gossip or any kind of pleasantries and presently

When your heart comes crashing into me don’t say I didn’t warn you 

 

Oh we got a long, hot summer to burn through, Baby

And if you had any sense you’d return to when you were only seventeen 

And your heart would miss a beat for its country 

 

And all day long you tell me that’s when trouble begins

That’s when trouble begins, but if that’s what you want 

Then maybe I could prickle under your skin 

 

Ooh we got a long, hot summer to list through, Baby

And I haven’t got the patience to miss you like we were only seventeen 

When my heart would take a bullet for something 

 

And all day long you tell me that’s when trouble begins, that’s when trouble begins 

There’ll be plenty of teardrops you could soak up if you stay 

I try to be faithful but you’re leading me astray and the trouble with me 

Is that the trouble isn’t ever far away
