Trouble Kitchen
My childhood was happy
And family ties were strong
My sisters and my brother
We always knew right from wrong
But Momma, still she worried
Like mommas often do
She told us to be wary
Of what we might get in to
She said: Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
Walk a straight line and take care
To stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
We went to church every Sunday
The good word filled our ears
We sat and listened to the preacher
As he struck our hearts with fear
He said: Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
And if you don't heed what you've learned
You'll find yourself in Trouble Kitchen
And the Devil will see you burn
Well, as a young man, I got reckless
Reckless with the seeds I sowed
I stirred up my own misfortune
Got stuck down some rocky roads
I've done things I sure ain't proud of
And this here, sir's, a fact
The choices you make make you
And there ain't no taking them back
I did some time in Trouble Kitchen
But I made it out somehow
Those days in Trouble Kitchen
Thank God they're behind me now
Well, I've got kids of my own now
And I got hindsight to help me see
That I've learned enough to give them
The same advice Momma gave to me
Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
Walk a straight line and take care
To stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
And family ties were strong
My sisters and my brother
We always knew right from wrong
But Momma, still she worried
Like mommas often do
She told us to be wary
Of what we might get in to
She said: Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
Walk a straight line and take care
To stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
We went to church every Sunday
The good word filled our ears
We sat and listened to the preacher
As he struck our hearts with fear
He said: Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
And if you don't heed what you've learned
You'll find yourself in Trouble Kitchen
And the Devil will see you burn
Well, as a young man, I got reckless
Reckless with the seeds I sowed
I stirred up my own misfortune
Got stuck down some rocky roads
I've done things I sure ain't proud of
And this here, sir's, a fact
The choices you make make you
And there ain't no taking them back
I did some time in Trouble Kitchen
But I made it out somehow
Those days in Trouble Kitchen
Thank God they're behind me now
Well, I've got kids of my own now
And I got hindsight to help me see
That I've learned enough to give them
The same advice Momma gave to me
Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
Walk a straight line and take care
To stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
Stay out of Trouble Kitchen
There ain't nothing good cooking there
