Trouble
Wait, let me tell you all a little story
'Bout the man who lives down at the top of the stairs
Well, he worked all his life for his children and his wife
And he opened up a little store down there
Well, one night late while he was lockin' the gate
A kid came in and said, "You know what I want", and he said-
"I ain't lookin' for trouble (trouble)
And I know what you came here to do
I ain't lookin' for trouble" (trouble)
And the kid said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"
Well, I swore that I would find him
Yeah, I said that I would track him down
And in a dirty darkened alleyway, I said
"Today is your day whatever you do don't turn around"
Well, he looked up to me and he said that, "I could see
That you know who I am, and where I've been"
And he said-
"I ain't lookin' for trouble (trouble)
And I know what you came here to do
I ain't lookin' for trouble" (trouble)
And I said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"
Well, I've spent four years of my life here
In this cold grey prison cell
With my cigarettes and my magazine
And my life, it feels like hell
Well, I hear footsteps in the hall, I know they're takin' me away and all
And I said, "I don't wanna die"
Well, I said-
"I ain't lookin' for trouble
And I know what you came here to do"
I said, "I ain't lookin' for trouble" (trouble)
And he said, "Trouble has come lookin' for you"
