Ahead of me, oh, yeah
I will not run and hide
You know I heard a mean, yeah
I say, I heard a mean
'Cause I smell a mean trouble
Let me be
Yes, always in trouble
Lord, I smell trouble
And hope it pass me by
And go the other way
Lord, they just won't
Always in trouble people
They just won't
I'll face trouble with a smile
And from now on
Way over yonder
I said, Lord, please forgive them
Yes, always in trouble
Lord, they just won't let me be
They just won't
Lord, they just won't let me be
Both day and night
Both night and day
'Cause I smell a mean trouble
'Cause I smell a mean trouble
Way over yonder
The people talk about me
One whole year of stayin' home
