Lyrics

A Whole Mess Of Trouble

You had on your favorite boots
Galosh splish splash splosh
Summer was a season filled with
Mud and bugs
and hearts that were true

You’d only have a rain jacket
If your mom reminded you
I clearly remember more than a few
Of your brand new shirts,
That you ruined

CHORUS:
The front drive
We slip and slide
Flowers all in bloom
Head to toe
Saturated
A whole mess of trouble, us two

Simple times. Simple minds.
We’d arrive by bike
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Again & again & again
When the sun sank low..
We’d come back in

The mud room covered
Without room for much more
What an aptly named barrier
between the
Inside and outside door

Let’s go to the thrift store
To see if we can find
Two pair of vintage rain boots
In our exact sizes
And try to
Go back in time.

In the front drive
We slip and slide
Flowers all in bloom
Head to toe
Saturated
We're a whole mess…
Of mud
And bugs.
Ah memories.
Just a whole mess of trouble with you

Oh my -- this arrangement is so much fun (along with the song itself). Love the "Galosh splish splash splosh." This brings back such vivid memories. And the embedded laughs.
