I Smell Trouble

Lord knows I've tried

To do what's right

One whole year of stayin' home

Both day and night

'Cause I smell a mean trouble

Way over yonder

You know I heard a mean, yeah

Always in trouble people

Lord they just won't let me be

The people talk about me

Both night and day

I said, Lord please forgive them

And go the other way

'Cause I smell a mean 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 [bad word] and hide

I'll face trouble with a smile

And hope it pass me by

'Cause I smell a mean trouble

Way over yonder

I say I heard a mean

Yes, always in trouble

They just won't

They just won't

Lord, they just won't

Let me be

Hoo, oh yeah
