Trouble Boys (Live at the 7th Street Entry, Minneapolis, MN, 1/23/81) lyrics
by The Replacements
[Verse 1]
Trouble boys came in
I guess they'd been out fightin' and a-ravin'
[It wasn't] long before they moved [in and] picked up all the girls
[We brought] round by the night spot
I had to move fast [to get my] baby back
[From the] trouble boys
[Verse 2]
I thought to myself [it was] time to make my move
[I breathed] my last sigh and started to groove
Came up, started dancing
Girl, I'm looking [?]
[She knew] I was dead
[Cause no one] cuts in on the trouble boys
[Chorus]
Trouble boys
Trouble boys, all around me
No one likes gettin' [sand kicked] in your face
I don't know anyone [who'd] stand up face-to-face
[With the] trouble boys, yeah
Trouble boys
[Verse 3]
I thought to myself I'll make my move
I breathed my last sigh and I started
Grooving in where
The other girl, [by] the look in her eyes I was [?]
[She knew] I was dead, she cuts in
Trouble boys
[Chorus]
Trouble boys
Trouble boys, all around me
No one likes gettin' [sand kicked] in your face
Anymore [than] standing face-to-face
[With the] trouble boys
Trouble
[Verse 4]
I thought to myself I'll make my move
I breathed my last sigh and started to groove
Leader came up, shook my hand
[He] does it like a brother
Doesn't [crush] it at all
He says, "Watch out, buddy"
"You shouldn't have stood up to the trouble boys"
[Chorus]
Trouble boys
Hey, trouble boys, all around me
[No one] likes getting [sand kicked] in your face
Nobody wants to stand up face-to-face
Trouble boys, yeah
Trouble boys
No likes getting sand kicked in your face
I don't know anyone who'd stand up face-to-face
[With the] trouble boys, yeah
Trouble
[Paul] One, two, three, drink
[Tommy] Don't mind The Dads, they just warmed up for us
[Paul] Yeah. You guys are missing the North Stars. Turn the boxes [?] monitor kinda maybe?
