Lord knows I've tried
To do what's right
One whole year of staying 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, we're 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 mean trouble
Way over yonder, I say I heard a mean
Yes, we're always in trouble
They just won't, they just won't
Lord, they just won't let me be, oh yeah
To do what's right
One whole year of staying 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, we're 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 mean trouble
Way over yonder, I say I heard a mean
Yes, we're always in trouble
They just won't, they just won't
Lord, they just won't let me be, oh yeah
