Trouble Down the Line

I met her at the county fair, she had a sparkle in her eye,

We danced under the summer moon, and we thought we'd never die.

But now I'm sitting here alone, with a doctor's note in hand,

Turns out that night of passion left a mark I didn't plan.

I called her up and told her, "Girl, we got some trouble here,"

She laughed it off and said, "Don't fret, we've got nothing to fear."

But fear is what I'm feeling now, it's crawling through my veins,

A wild night down at the fair brought more than just good times and games.

Oh, I’ve got trouble, trouble down the line,

A souvenir from summer nights, one that ain't so fine.

Now every time I see that fair, I think of what's entwined,

Oh, I’ve got trouble, trouble down the line.

The doctor’s office is my friend, I've been there quite a bit,

I dread that waiting room's old song, don’t wanna hear “That’s it.”

The nurse, she takes my blood again, her eyes say she’s seen more,

Of boys like me who thought for once they'd found a love to score.

Oh, I’ve got trouble, trouble down the line,

A souvenir from summer nights, one that ain't so fine.

Now every time I see that fair, I think of what's entwined,

Oh, I’ve got trouble, trouble down the line.

I called up all my partners, told 'em they should get a test,

'Cause life's too short for secrets, and honestly's what's best.

Some hung up, some got angry, but most just understood,

That life’s a game of give and take, it doesn’t always end so good.
