Trouble No More

(album: Pocketful Of Poetry - 2013)

Well you won't believe what I'm gonna be when it's time for me to run
I'm gonna leave this nest and give my best to the place where I grew up
And there won't be trouble in the world no more
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!

I've got a wishing bone and a worry stone and a lucky rabbit's foot
And if I ever get bored of the open road, well I'll bring a comic book
And there won't be trouble in the world no more
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!

[Chorus:]
No more band aids on my heartaches
No more smoke when I burn the pancakes
No more drowning in my sorrow
With my chin held up there's always better luck tomorrow

Well, I'd travel far to the great bazaar and charm a snake or two
Or try my hand in a marching band while I play on my kazoo
And there won't be trouble in the world no more
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!
There won't be trouble in the world no more!

[Chorus]

With my chin held up there's always better luck
Like a beggar in the street with a penny in his cup
The penny gets thrown in a wishing well
It goes to show you never can tell
When a penny might bring a million better things tomorrow

[Chorus]
