Best Trouble I Ever Got

Letra

[Verse 1 - Singer 1] You forgot where you parked the sedan again And you called the young waiter by our nephew's name Your knees make a crack like a dry twig in June When you bend down to pick up a fallen silver spoon [Verse 2 - Singer 2] Well you left your brass bifocals right in the fridge Next to three moldy berries and a chunk of old cheese And you've told that same story about ninety-four times About meeting Johnny Cash back in nineteen sixty-nine [Chorus - Both] Oh we're falling apart at the very same speed You're the creaky old hip that my sore back needs Fifty long years and we're still going strong Singing slightly off-key to our favorite old song If our memories fade and our hearing goes shot You're still the best trouble that I ever got [Verse 3 - Singer 1] You set off the smoke alarm making us toast And you talk to the parlor like you're seeing a ghost You fall fast asleep before eight-thirty PM And you wake up at four just to grumble again [Verse 4 - Singer 2] Well you wear your cardigan backwards and inside out And you turn up your hearing aid just so you can shout You misplace your dentures inside of your purse We're a walking disaster, for better or worse [Chorus - Both] Oh we're falling apart at the very same speed You're the creaky old hip that my sore back needs Fifty long years and we're still going strong Singing slightly off-key to our favorite old song If our memories fade and our hearing goes shot You're still the best trouble that I ever got [Outro - Singer 1 & Singer 2] Now pass me my tea Did you turn off the stove? I think so, my dear Where's my reading glass groove? Right where you left it... on top of your head Let's turn off the porch light and shuffle to bed
