the path that leads to trouble

oh

you're trying to step around

walking soft

never making a sound

but you can't run away from pain and strife

you know you can't

'cause the sound of your sin

will be carried on the wind

when you're leadin' a double life

oh

oh

the path that leads to trouble

is the path that leads to scorn

and if you take the path of trouble

you will regret that you were born

one for love and one for kicks

now i got myself in a fix

and the ache in my heart is like a knife

oh

yes it is

still i just speed ahead

on the path that leads to trouble

now

'cause i'm leadin' a double life

oh

and the path that leads to trouble

is the path that leads to scorn

and if you take the path of trouble

you will regret that you were born

that you were born

born

born

born.
