Lord knows i've tried

To do what's right

One whole year of stayin' home

Both day and night

Cause i smell a trouble

Cause i smell a trouble

I heard a mean

Always in trouble

Lord they just won't let me be

The people talk about me

I know both night and day

I said lord please forgive them

And go the other way

Cause i smell a trouble

Lord i smell trouble

Ahead of me oh yeah

Yes always in trouble

Lord they just won't let me be

And from now on

I will not run and hide

I'll face trouble with a smile

And hope it pass me by

Cause i smell a trouble

Lord I smell trouble

I say i heard a mean

Ahead of me

Always in trouble

Lord they just won't

They just won't

They just won't

They just won't

They just won't

Let me be

Hoo oh
