Jackson Browne - For Taking The Trouble Lyrics
For taking the trouble, for hanging on and tryin'Now you've been working through the rubble of a shattered mindYeah Baby, tell me why the tears are falling from your eyeTears of laughter, tears of grief, are they the tears of a captured thief?You thought that you were home free, thought you had her well in handBut there were things about her you didn't understandYeah Baby, tell me how you're gonna keep that promise now?To live your life without regret and make it work with what you getYou didn't then, but now you knowWhen she began to lie-you really should have let her goYou're learnin' how to talk about it, you're learnin' how to bendIt's like you're learning how to walk all over againYeah Baby, tell me who you're gonna give your lovin' to?That girl who catches every eyeOr the one you can set your compass byYou set it by her soulful smileThe fire in her eyeAnd the way she goes that extra mileThe love you wanted this to beIs somewhere down the lineYou'll find her eventuallyYour grandma and her grandmaSittin' 'round heaven discussin' the lawLovin' that girl was not your crime,Livin' without her gonna take some timeLovin' that girl next thing you knew,You'd turned away from the thing you doLovin' that girl, you couldn't seeLiving without her gonna make you free
