Trouble don't live here no more,they told me that he cut himself loose. |
|
Mama says he never coming back,he's out there killin' the blues, yeah. |
|
Told me once that he never could sleep, had the same dream every night. |
|
Saw the face of the woman he loved, but she never looked into his eyes... |
|
Trouble never stayed in no jail, saw a hole in the fence and he ran. |
|
Bloodhounds on his scent for days, but they never found nothin', they never found nuthin'. |
|
Word spread about his evil ways, and people spoke about him like he was dead. |
|
Reverend Jones took my Mama aside, pray God they put a bullet in the poor boys' head |
|
Lord, when the Lord has left me |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Trouble was my only friend. |
|
Trouble was a praying man, I would see him down there on his knees. |
|
White knuckles on a shaking fist, crying up to the lord to be free, yeah |
|
Then one time I saw that freedom come, when he lifted me out of my chair. |
|
He said "little boy you made your daddy a man, now listen I ain't going anywhere (no no)" |
|
Lord, when the lord has left me |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Trouble was my only friend |
|
Trouble was a force of life, when he showed me how to walk on this earth. |
|
Said "always look with a loving eye, but don't you ever forget your own worth (son)" |
|
And when I asked him if he ever did see that dark-haired beauty of his dreams, |
|
He said "son I feel in every single beat of my heart, one day she's gonna look at me (yes she will)" |
|
Lord, when the lord has left me |
|
Lord, when the lord has left me |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Trouble was my only friend |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Oh all of my trouble |
|
Trouble was my only friend |
