Lyrics
In The Middle of Trouble There Is You
©Bill Long, Green Genes Publishing. 2015. BMI 018755471
In the middle of trouble there is you.
Always in place and on cue.
No one has to spell it out.
They know without a doubt.
In the middle of trouble there is you.
Nobody has to learn anything new.
It doesn't come up out of the blue.
It's not over their head
And now it's been said
There is trouble all around you.
As easy as ABC
Or counting 1, 2, 3.
Give the devil his due
In the middle of trouble there is you.
Break
I can spell it out if you need a clue.
It's known to all but a few.
You can learn this in school
Or in the gene pool
In the middle of trouble there is you.
Just like 1 plus 1 makes 2
Something that everybody knew
Like a well-known fact
You don't have to be exact
There is trouble all around you.
In the middle of trouble there is you.
