Trish Murphy - The Trouble With Trouble lyrics

It all started with a shotgun, back in 1973 When my Daddy bought a brand new twelve gauge Gave his old one to my brother and me Now we went out shootin' stop signs One night when he was workin' late And that's how I learned the meaning of a misdemeanor At the ripe old age of eight But Daddy it wasn't even my idea, I did it on a double dog dare And it's a cold, hard fact when you're young and dumb The trouble with trouble is, it starts out as fun Now midnight racin' at the K Mart 'round 1979 I betcha I'll beat to the garden shop, seemed like a good idea at the time So I buckled up for safety, I pushed my pedal down all the way And I finally found the finish line in a window full a lingerie They let me make one phone call, "Hello Daddy, remember me?" He said, "No!, I'm gonna hafta sleep on that, I'll come down there in the mornin' and see" And Officer it wasn't even my idea, I did it on a double dog dare And it's a cold, hard fact when you're young and dumb The trouble with trouble is, it starts out as fun It's a good fifteen years later, it's a small town Saturday night And they're still sneakin' out their windows, wrappin' houses and pickin' fights And I've long since retired, yeh, I put away my teenage ways But did Daddy find it difficult not to laugh, like I do when I hear mine say Oh Mama it wasn't even my idea, I did it on a double dog dare And it's a cold, hard fact when you're young and dumb The trouble with trouble is, it starts out as fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
