[Trouble in a Red Coat] [Short Intro - 4 bars: Bright Steinway Piano Chops & Fast Acoustic Violin Flurries, 122 BPM] ......"They warned me she would break my heart." [Verse 1: Intimate Male Vocals, Driving Piano & Tight Kick] Wet neon lights along the street She brushed the rain from off her feet She stepped inside the corner bar Like lightning from a falling star A scarlet wool and crooked grin That made the whole room stop and spin My friends said, "Brother, walk away" "She’ll leave you cold by break of day" [Pre-Chorus: Building Energy, Rising Bassline] My common sense was telling no My heavy shoes were slow to go I saw the fire in her eyes And traded truth for sweet surprise [Chorus: Explosive Full Belt, Soaring Harmonies & Four-on-the-Floor Drive] She was trouble in a crimson coat A reckless laugh inside her throat They warned me not to cross that line To leave that wild heart behind Nothing ventured, nothing gained I fell right through the summer rain I risked my heart and lost my mind To the sweetest trouble I could find [Verse 2: Driving Rhythm, Electric Guitar Chords & Snare Pocket] We pulled my Chevy from the drive A paper map to stay alive Two paper cups of midnight steam Chasing a wild and ragged dream We argued hard on dusty roads Laughing under the heavy loads She never promised easy days Just honest truth through every maze [Pre-Chorus: Building Energy, Rising Bassline] My common sense was telling no My heavy shoes were slow to go I saw the fire in her eyes And traded truth for sweet surprise [Chorus: Explosive Full Belt, Soaring Harmonies & Four-on-the-Floor Drive] She was trouble in a crimson coat A reckless laugh inside her throat They warned me not to cross that line To leave that wild heart behind Nothing ventured, nothing gained I fell right through the summer rain I risked my heart and lost my mind To the sweetest trouble I could find [Bridge 1: Half-Time Dynamic Drop, Solo Steinway Piano & Resonant Cello] Some build their walls to hide from pain And lock the door against the rain They keep their quiet hearts secure And wonder what they're living for [Guitar & Violin Solo: Soaring Melodic Crying Lead Guitar & Fast Acoustic Violin Flurries, 122 BPM] [Bridge 2: Galloping Beat, Vocal Intensity Peaks at Maximum Belt] Now twenty years have rolled away That coat still hangs here every day The sweetest risk I ever ran That turned a boy into a man [Final Chorus: Maximum Triumphant Elevation, Full Stacked Harmonies & Strings] She was trouble in a crimson coat A reckless laugh inside her throat They warned me not to cross that line To leave that wild heart behind Nothing ventured, nothing gained I fell right through the summer rain I risked my heart and lost my mind To the sweetest trouble I could find [Outro: Spoken & Whispered Dialogue, Solo Piano & Gentle Cello Swell] ......"She was trouble in a red coat." ......"Trouble by the bucketload." ......"And worth every single mile." [Final Piano Chord Ringing Out to Silence] [End]
