| The Lord knows I’ve tried
|
| To do what’s right
|
| For five whole long years I stayed home
|
| Both day and night
|
| And I smell trouble
|
| I smell trouble ahead of me
|
| Yes, worries and trouble
|
| No they just won’t let me be
|
| People talk about me
|
| Both night and day
|
| I cried Lord, please forgive them
|
| And I go the other way
|
| I smell trouble
|
| Lord, I smell trouble ahead of me
|
| Yes, worries and trouble
|
| No they just won’t let me be
|
| And from now on
|
| I will not run and hide
|
| I’m gonna face trouble with a smile
|
| And hope they pass me by
|
| I smell trouble
|
| Lord, I smell trouble way up there ahead of me
|
| Yes, worries and trouble
|
| Lord, they just won’t, they just won’t
|
| They just won’t let me be, oh, no |
