Trouble Road Songtext
von Simon Kirke

For all of my life I′ve been kicked around
So I learned how to fight and to stand my ground
I was just eighteen when I went too far
The man I hit in a fight nearly died in that bar
So I headed on south 'til I reached El Paso
Everywhere I went people were giving me hassle
Nothing but towns in my rear view mirror
I had to keep moving on

Trouble road, I gotta let it go
Get off that damn highway before it steals my soul
I grew up mean and hungry on the backside of the tracks
And I′m never going back to trouble road


I fell into a church, I was battered and bruised
She was lighting a candle when I first saw you
You lifted up this fallen man
And led him to grace with the touch of your hand
Now the devil's been involved in all that I've done
But he′s no match for the power of love
And since that day I fell to my knees
I never stood so tall

Trouble road, I gotta let it go
Get off that damn highway before it steals my soul
I grew up mean and hungry on the backside of the tracks
And I′m never going back to trouble road

I was headed for hell and going nowhere fast
But the love of this woman made me free at last

Trouble road, I finally let it go
I walked that damn highway, it didn't get my soul
I grew up mean and hungry on the backside of the tracks
And I′m never going back to trouble road
No, no, no
I'm never going back to trouble road
