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