I play an old piano from nine till a half past one
Tryin' to make a livin' watchin' everybody have fun
Well, I don't miss much that ever happens on a dance hall floor
Mercy, look what just walked through that door
Well, hello T-R-0-U-B-L-E
What in the world you're doin' A-L-O-N-E?
Say, good L-double O-K-I-N-G
I smell T-R-O-U-B-L-E
I was a little bitty baby when my papa hit the skids
Mama had a time tryin' to raise nine kids
Told me not to stare 'cause it was impolite
And did the best she could to try to raise me right
But mama never t

Bottle
Start my day and hit my head with th edoor.
Grab hold of the chair and pull myself from the floor.
Still isn't clear what that was for
I've recognized strong feelings in here.
Fruit ripe for the picking and thoughts of fear
Sometimes it gets to easy to assume that isn't clear
Tell me 'bout those good old days.
Older ones and better ways
Ways I cannot change today.
Tell me why. I'll tell you why
Bit by the dog can pull you back in the game.
Each new problem drives you further from sane
Topics take root in all the things that cause my pain
Another day and not a bad start at all.
Less weight on the shoulders can make you feel tall
This bottle stands empty waiting for me to call
Tell me why.
