Short Life Of Trouble

(album: Ragged But Right - 2010)

Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart

Remember what you promised
Not more than a week ago
You promised that you'd marry me
Standing in your mama's door

Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart

Now you've broken your promise
Go marry whom you may
For this old world so big and so wide
I'll ramble back some day

Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart

Now you've gone and left me
I don't know what I'll do
I'd give this world and half my life
Just to be married to you

Short life of trouble
A few more words to part
Short life of trouble, dear girl
For a boy with a broken heart
