Dee Carstensen - The Boy Was Trouble lyrics

I met him in a bar, that was the first mistake Our eyes met on the double take The room stood still and the music drowned Like a B-movie show on the edge of town He had those eyes you wanna follow to a back room dive And some bullsh** story had me mesmerized He didn't hold the door but he let me in I set my suitcase down in a house a sin That boy was trouble, trouble enough for a girl like me Trouble, but I was so caught up I could barely see Trouble I got used to livin' by the railroad tracks Where the hobos lived in chevys With monkeys on their backs I thought he was a hippie with a cowboy's heart But we were just a couple a junkies falling apart That boy was trouble, trouble enough for a girl like me Trouble, but I was so caught up I could barely see Trouble Ever think you couldn't sink lower than the basement Floor Come to find much worse Was waiting underneath that old trap door Never had the nerve to leave until I'd finally broken Down Packed what I had, and took the last bus out of town He wrote me a letter from a prison cell Said he'd heard I'd gotten married and was doing well Said he'd found his religion in the depths of hell That boy was trouble, trouble enough for a girl like me Trouble, but I was so caught up I could barely see Trouble
