Good Trouble

Keep the fire burnin’
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin’
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin’
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin’
To keep the fire burnin’ all night long

You’ve been changing so much
I’m not sure your in touch with what’s real
You just come and you go
Never letting me know how you feel
And I’m livin here in doubt
There’s so much to talk about
I know that we can work it out

Chorus

We’ve been through this enough
It gets rough but there’s nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up
If we wanted to we could
But we’ve always understood
To keep lookin’ for the good

When I awaken, feelin’ no pain
Visibly shaken, waitin’ to touch you again
My temperature’s risin, but I’m fallin’ a bit behind
And that ain’t so surprising, were gonna take our own sweet time

Chorus

Baby we can take our own sweet time
And spend it when we want to ‘cus it’s yours and mine
Let our love come easy and we find
We can make it and we’ll take our own sweet time

I know when I hold you, it’s a feelin’ I can’t explain
But I never told you, I couldn’t take it again
But now I’m ready, I am ready to make you mine
So I’m holdin steady, and we’re gonna take our own sweet time

Chorus

Night and day, day and night
I do my best to do things right
Never meant to ever hurt nobody
And if I should in some small way
Ever rain on your parade
I will make it up to you I promise

Ever since I met that girl
There’s no one else in the whole wide world
Said she’d stay and be with me forever
Mysteries have long been told
About the girl with the heart of gold
And you know I think that I have found her

Chorus

Because every time she looks my way
I lose control, what can I say
She’s everything I’ve ever been after, oh,

I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold
I found the girl with the heart of gold

Every now and then when the lights are low
Every now and then when the wind does blow
Every now and then, I think of you

Every now and then when a girl walks by
And holds her head like you held yours high
Every now and then, I think of you

And once in awhile when the sun sets right
And the full moon glides like a diamond in the night
Every now and then, I think of you

Bridge

And I remember you and I
In a soft golden light
Nothing like here and tonight
I won’t hear about anyone’s life but our own
And all that I have is hope
Baby you never know

Every now and then when a friend says, “Hi”
And asks about us I just wanna die
Every now and then, I think of you

I wanna say everything’s just fine
But only a fool could believe that line
Still every now and then, I think of you

Late one night on a road in Texas
I pulled into an all-night cafe
What’s my pleasure? Well ma’am the fact is, I don’t know

Sat down next to a “Rajun’ Cajun”
A black haired beauty from New Orleans
Did my duty can I buy you a drink dear
She said “Please”

Bridge

(So) we rolled right along,
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?

Then she sang her song
Said “If I come along
You must find a place in your heart for me”

I was lost on a road to nowhere
And asked if she was goin’ my way
She was late for a date with no one
(So) please don’t leave

She’d just left a love that was dying
And had no plans of goin back
I caught her eyes as she was crying
“Let’s make tracks”

Bridge Chorus

She said, “I’ll follow , I’ll follow you on your dare
Your eyes say something, your heart better care
You’re lost and you’re lonely, I’ve been to long there
So I’ll follow, I’ll follow you…anywhere

I couldn’t fall asleep all last night my mind was racin’
I left so much behind to find the dream that I was chasin’
And now I have a need to take a look at what is real
I need to learn to live and love and breathe and touch and feel

Chorus

But all I really know is what I see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone would open up my heart and look inside of me
But I’m the only one who holds the key

Your body aglow as if to show you peacefully dreamin’
So only you could know that deep inside somebody was screamin’
And callin’ out to anyone who could help you through the night
And hopin’ that someone would come along to make it right

But all you really know is what you see
And everybody sees it differently
I wish someone could open up your soul and set the demon free
But you’re the only one who holds the key

A grey ghost night
On an Eastern flight
Sixteen thousand miles away
I lay awake
When the morning breaks
But what can I do to get you
Back in my heart again

The towns top gun
Safe at number one
No man’s will can change my life
Safe and certain
But now I’m hurtin
So what can I do to get you

Chorus

Back in my heart again
Blowin through my life
Life a cold winters wind
Now in my mind I know I didn’t win
I want you back in my heart again

Baby, baby
What can I say
I was wrong so I ran away
A million miles
Wont make me smile
I want you, want you, want you

Suddenly it happened,
here we are with all this glory
We never thought for a minute,
that we were writin a story
We took our chances,
somehow we held it together
And now I feel there is justice,
I always new there was

I love the warmth of the spotlight
I need the sound of the people screamin’
Here we are to bring down the ceiling
Wanna give you a real good feelin’
Later on when it’s over
We will think of you and remember
You’re the ones who gave us the glory
Just want to tell you that

Chorus

It’s great to, to be with you
Been a long time but we love you
Don’t stop, let’s be-bop tonight

Do you remember the last time?
We remember the last time
Everything was cool,
we had a celebration, yeah
We had a celebration,
let’s bring the feeling back again
Come on closer,
just got to tell ya that

Midnight on the hill I heard the thunder fill
The stillness of the night
It hit me like a slap, you’re never comin’ back
From the stillness of the night
It was never black or white, neither wrong or right
Like the shadow of a full moon’s light
I knew we’d lost the track, when I heard the lightning crack
The stillness of the night

Chorus

In the stillness of the night
That’s when we’ll make it right
We can stop the thunder till the light
In the stillness of the night

I know you think you hear, those voices in your ear
In the stillness of the night
But I’ve tried to make it clear there’s nothing left to fear
Just the stillness of the night
And if you listen hard you might find the reason for your fright
Just the wind is high tonight
And the danger we must face is the anger of this race
In the stillness of the night

Chorus

Babe, I’m gettin’ the message it’s finally comin’ through
After the show I’ll get a hold of you
Baby, I’ve got your number and I remember your name
And I’ve got a feelin’ I know why you came

Chorus

So let’s get in some good trouble tonight
Get ourselves in deep
We can stay awake and dance all night
We can always sleep
Don’t let them tell you it’s a mortal sin
Cus’ I know it’s alright
And if your mama asks you where you’ve been
You’ve been in some good trouble all night

I’ll be here again next year, and there you’ll be again
And I’ll barely know half the places I’ve been
But I can almost remember, so it was almost real
I never know how I’m going to feel

Chorus

Good trouble all night
Good trouble’s all right
