TROUBLE'S MY MIDDLE NAME

+ Show full styles

Boots hit the floor, door swings wide Every head turns as I step inside Bartender grins, he knows what's comin' I order whiskey neat, keep the jukebox hummin' Small town gossip follows where I go But honey, I put on one hell of a show Trouble's my middle name I don't walk – I blaze I'll steal your hat, kiss you hard Then leave you lost for days Sweet as honey with a kick like whiskey Wild as the wind across the plains If you're lookin' for a nice girl Well, that train has left the station 'Cause trouble's my middle name Borrowed his guitar and his favorite horse Returned 'em both – eventually, of course Now he's writin' songs 'bout me on the radio Callin' me heartbreaker like I didn't tell him so Mama tried to raise a lady But I came out wild and gravy That's just the way the good Lord made me Trouble's my middle name I don't walk – I blaze I'll steal your hat, kiss you hard Then leave you lost for days Sweet as honey with a kick like whiskey Wild as the wind across the plains If you're lookin' for a nice girl Well, that train has left the station 'Cause trouble's my middle name I ain't for the faint of heart More rodeo than art Not poison – just potent Like moonshine with emotion For those brave enough to ride It's one unforgettable night I came to dance, not apologize Your mama warned you – and she was right They say I leave lipstick marks and late regrets But sugar, I ain't changin' yet If you play with matches, babe Don't cry when the barn's in flames Darlin', I don't chase – I charge So step up or step aside, at large Trouble's my middle name I don't walk – I blaze I'll steal your hat, kiss you hard Then leave you lost for days Sweet as honey with a kick like whiskey Wild as the wind across the plains If you're lookin' for a nice girl Well, that train has left the station 'Cause trouble's my middle Trouble's my middle name And honey, I ain't ashamed Trouble's my middle name
