[Verse 1]
Look, I’m the dumbest in the room
Still I light it up somehow
Clueless grin, sharp little mouth
Yeah, I say it, then I spin it out
Heart of gold in a crooked chest
Dirty thoughts in a clean white shirt
I trip, I laugh, I make a mess
Then I turn that mess to work
[Pre-Chorus]
I got hands like a worker
I got nerves like steel
I fall down, get up louder
That’s just how I feel
[Chorus]
Golden trouble, that’s me
Golden trouble, can’t you see
Heart of gold, mind gone wild
Warrior stance, poet child
Golden trouble, that’s me
(That’s me)
[Verse 2]
I can carry the weight of a bad long day
I can turn a bruise to a battle cry
Got a saint in me when the lights decay
Got a grin that can make the truth go lie
I’m half a curse and half a prayer
Too much fire for a small town room
But if you need me, I’ll be right there
With a soft-song soul and a storm-cloud boom
[Pre-Chorus]
I got hands like a worker
I got nerves like steel
I fall down, get up louder
That’s just how I feel
[Chorus]
Golden trouble, that’s me
Golden trouble, can’t you see
Heart of gold, mind gone wild
Warrior stance, poet child
Golden trouble, that’s me
(That’s me)
[Bridge]
I was built from broken hours
And a laugh that cuts both ways
Some days I’m a fist of thunder
Some days I’m a field of grace
[Final Chorus]
Golden trouble, that’s me
Golden trouble, can’t you see
Heart of gold, mind gone wild
Warrior stance, poet child
Golden trouble, that’s me
Golden trouble, that’s me
(That’s me)
