Low Man's Joe: TUNES
Trouble Child
(Low Man's Joe)
Trouble child on a lonely street, where’s the wind taking you now?
Through the fields of fire, of leaves and stone, you’ve got to make it home somehow.
Sixteen years living in this world, and you say you’ve seen it all.
But the truth will come, with the rising sun, it’ll shake and rattle your walls.
Trouble child in the cold dark night, amongst kings and vagabonds.
Though the smiles don’t fade, in this masquerade, out here you stand alone.
You hear the devil calling out your name, temptation’s running strong.
Seventeen and caught in between, two worlds of right and wrong.
Oh trouble child, I see you cower, under orphan stars in a desperate hour.
You say a prayer when you need it most, to the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.
We rise and fall, we laugh and cry, we live and learn, we live and die.
Still the world outside awaits us all, so trouble child, just heed the call.
You don’t need to stand alone. You can mend a heart of stone.
You’ve got to find your own way home.
