Trouble finds you every night
 You wonder where nobody knows you
 Your civil tone is not polite
 You got no friends, you don't like people
 You tried it once and they let you down
 And after seven years you're still hurt and angry
 And inside your head is an awful sound

 (Chorus)
 Some say that trouble is my middle name
 I find it very easy and I sin out just the same
 So stay out of trouble, don't cry
 Stay out of trouble, you'll die

 You're on the street the clock strikes 11
 And it takes that seven years away
 Now you're walking with that lovely lady
 And just like that you can hear her say
 "Well I know for sure you ain't got the money
 for an ounce of coke or a Cadillac!"
 I said, "It ain't no use in trying to fool me
 A big woman like you has got to fight back"

 (Chorus)

 Inside your head it sounds like thunder
 And your room becomes an ugly shell
 You get in your car and you start the engine
 And you drive with your right foot in hell
 Well, someone said, "ain't that funny
 Well, I saw that boy just the other night"
 Went into this bar and really got rowdy
 With his friends and him is an awful fight

 (Chorus
