Trouble, don't mess with a young man
Every playground turns into quicksand
Before you know it, you know too much
Rocks in your shoes and it's catching up
Trouble, don't mess with a young man
Wild-eyed, more question than understand
Trippin' up with a stick in the spoke

Just let him walk 'cause he don't know
Trouble, don't mess with a young man
Trouble, don't mess with a young man
He's too blind to understand trouble
Trouble, don't mess with the kid's head
Strong-willed, still hungry and relentless
Let nothing stop him gunnin' for the sky
Trouble, cut slack, let him skate by

Trouble, have mercy on the kid's soul
And let him win a few before he folds
Runnin' for the thrill, runnin' out of time
Can't go back and you can never rewind
Trouble, don't mess with a young man
Trouble, don't mess with a young man
He's too blind to understand trouble
Trouble don't mess with a young man
Trouble don't mess with a young man

Trouble
Trouble
He's too blind to understand trouble
