I speak but I don't talk
They say you can't run before you walk
Clearly life's lessons are written in chalk
Pounded away by stormy spray or under trampling trot
But I just say
Momma did you hear about the victim on the pilgrimage
Some say she was shot some said she couldn't walk the walk
Momma did you hear about the violence on the throne
Momma can't you see there's trouble on the holy road
There's so much I hear but I barely listen
They say there's so much to fear but I must've missed it
Clearly life's lessons are written in chalk
Pounded away by stormy spray or under trampling trot
But I just say
Daddy does it feel like there's eyes all around the path
Smiling and giggling and laughing at your past
Daddy did you know the liars say it ain't so
Daddy don't you see there's trouble on the holy road
Mmmm
You're in Trouble
Mmmm
You're in Trouble
If my lips could speak and my ears could hear
And my eyes would quit with the late night tears
And If my tongue could taste and my skin could feel
And if my lonely heart would tell me love is real
I know what you're gonna say
So tell me did you hear about the victim on the pilgrimage
Some said he was shot some said he couldn't walk the walk
Tell me did you hear about the violence on the throne
So tell me can't you see there's trouble on the holy road
Does it feel like there's eyes all around the path
Smiling and giggling and laughing at your past
Tell me did you know the liars say it ain't so
Tell me don't you know there's trouble on the holy road
Mmmmm you're in trouble
Mmmmm you're in trouble
So tell me don't you know there's trouble on the holy road
So tell me can't you see there's trouble on the holy road
So tell me don't you know there's trouble on the holy road
So tell me can't you see there's trouble on the holy road
