OLD TROUBLE

Intro I knew that walk. Before I saw her face.

Verse 1 She came through the door at midnight Rain shining on her coat Same black boots, same crooked smile Same fire in her throat Bartender looked straight at me Like he already knew Some mistakes don't need introductions They just walk back into view She took the stool beside me Said, "You still drinking slow?" I said, "Depends who's asking." She laughed. There she goes.

Chorus Old trouble Pulling up a chair Smells like rain and gasoline With midnight in her hair Old trouble Looking just the same I spent years forgetting her She still remembers my name

Verse 2 She asked if I was married I asked if she still lied She said, "Only when it matters." I nearly smiled that time She touched the scar above my hand Like she put it there herself Said, "You look like you've been living." I said, "Not especially well." Outside, thunder shook the windows Inside, neither of us moved Some fires don't burn forever They just wait on something dry to use

Chorus Old trouble Pulling me back in Looking like forgiveness Talking like a sin Old trouble Never learned goodbye I know exactly what she costs And I still don't ask the price

Bridge A wiser man would've paid his tab A better man would've gone But I've never been much good At leaving danger alone Old trouble One hand on my sleeve I knew how this would end Before she asked me not to leave Old trouble Same spark, same flame Some things change. Some things just change bars.
