Alison Krauss And Union Station – Pain Of A Troubled Life lyrics

(Ron Block)

I've lived a dozen lifetimes in twenty-some-odd years
Got no use for trouble got no use for tears
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

I've had my share of sorrow more than you could know
Save your lies and alibis I've heard that tune before
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

--- Mandolin Instrumental ---

You're out all night asleep all day so pack it up and leave
I've got no use for trouble trouble's using me
Don't you see my love won't be forever deaf and blind
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

I've had my share of sorrow more than you could know
Save your lies and alibis I've heard that tune before
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

--- Banjo - Fiddle Instrumental ---

I've had my share of sorrow more than you could know
Save your lies and alibis I've heard that tune before
Can't you see it's killing me I'm old before my time
I won't let you double the pain of a troubled life.

Can't you see that love can't be forever deaf and blind...
