Moving down the line, yeah, moving down the line
Oh, that's right
But then I've got my share of what's mine

Gonna keep on moving, gonna go to town
I'm ready to make it, don't care what the weather
Don't care about no trouble, got myself together

But then I've got my share of what's mine
Oh, I've come up hard, baby, but that's okay
I've come up hard, baby but now I'm fine
I'm checking trouble sugar, moving down the line
They don't bother me

I've got the connections, they dig my directions

Taxes, death and trouble
I know some places and I see some faces
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way
I've come up hard, baby, I've been for real

Oh, I've come up hard, baby
Got the kind of protection
This I know, baby
I've come up hard, I come up and get down
I've come up hard, now I'm fine
I've come up hard but now I'm cool
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way
Oh, I've come up hard, baby, with troubled mind
There's only three things that's for sure
It's all around me
Oh, I've come up hard, baby, but that's okay
In checking trouble sugar, moving down the line
What people say, that's okay
Oh, I've come up hard, baby, with troubled mind

I've come up hard, baby, but that's okay

Moving down the line, moving down the line
'Cause Trouble Man don't get in my way
I didn't make it, baby, playing by the rules
