Trouble Lyrics - Put Your Ghost To Rest - Kevin Devine

Trouble tracks me down 

It's been dragging me around 

Since my feet first touched the ground 

And I'm kicking 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 pulling fits 

Yeah, I've learned to live with it 

Marching steady, straight and by my side 

Trouble makes no scene 

She sweeps in surgical and clean 

Leaves me begging on my hands and knees 

And she's always on the clock 

But she doesn't own a watch 

'Cause she wrecks me straight into my sleep 

Well drift into a dream 

And I'm sailing on some sea 

Shooting whiskey with my Irish bride 

Till Amy Goodman wakes me up 

I'm alone in brooklyn, broke as fuck 

With a splitting headache 

And sore 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 role the way they role 

And then you're never gonna know 

So getting crazy's just a waste of time 

I've just seen trouble track me down 

It keeps pulling me around 

Till I'm deep inside the ground 

And then I'll smile in my sleep 

'Cause in that box I'm finally free 

And ain't no trouble gonna find me now 

Ain't no trouble gonna find me now 

Ain't no trouble gonna find me now
