Keep Your Troubles At Bay - Jay Smith

You can roll your money you can spill your guts

You can party all night until you’re nuts — but hey

Your troubles never go away

You can play a biggie, you can bang your drum

But at the end of the day you’re still a bum — so hey

Your troubles never go away

You can walk in circles in an endless maze until one day you go blind

Or you can chase an echo of eternal love — in the windmills of your mind

Keep your troubles at bay — keep your troubles at bay

Cause they never go away — hey, hey

Keep your troubles at bay

Keep your troubles at bay — keep your troubles at bay

But they never really go away

They’re gonna get you one day

You can be a gangster you can swing your gun

Spend a night in the slammer cause you’re young and dumb- what can I say?

Your troubles never go away

You can find salvation in the eye of the storm

You can meet your maker and be reborn — but even then

Your troubles never really end

You can walk in circles in an endless maze until one day you go blind

Or you can chase an echo of eternal love in the windmills of your mind

Keep your troubles at bay

You may take a holiday and go to a sunny beach

But Mr Trouble stays in business

And you’re never out of reach

And he’ll come knocking on your door

Knock, knock, knock, knock
