Trouble In Paradise

Billy's home, he just got back from L.A.

Plenty of lines but nothing to say

Said I, seen this movie and it don't end nice

Looks like trouble in paradise

He used to be cool he used to laugh a lot

Down at the in the parking lot

Now he's sick, and he's scared

And he's paying the price

Trouble in paradise

Trouble in paradise

Momma said he always was so nice

Trouble in paradise

American son, he's not very old

An American dream that's never been sold

The smile on his face is just his last disguise

We've got trouble in paradise

There's a scream inside that shouts, "Here I am"

Some people say, "We've got to do what we can"

Me I don't know

You see I've been there myself once or twice

Trouble in paradise

Trouble in paradise

Momma said he always was so nice

Trouble in paradise, we've got trouble, hey

Five long years since I wrote this song

Many people dying, so many gone

Take one more

Coming still as good advice

Trouble in, paradise

Trouble in paradise

Momma said he always was so nice

Trouble in paradise, we've been troubled, yeah, yeah

Trouble in paradise

Trouble in paradise

Hey, trouble in
