I Smell Trouble

Lord knows I've tried to do what's right;
Five whole long years I stayed home, both day and night...

And I smell, hmm, trouble... Lord, I smell trouble ahead of me...
Yes, worries and trouble - Lord, they just won't let me be...

People talk about me - I know they talk about me both night and day;
But I say, "Lord, please forgive them!", and I go the other way...

I smell, hmm, trouble... Lord, I smell trouble ahead of me...
Lord, worries and troubles - Lord, they just won't let me be...

And from now on, I will not run and hide;
I'm gonna face trouble with a smile, and hope they pass me by...

I smell, hmm, trouble - Lord, I smell trouble way up yonder, up ahead of me;
Oh, worries and trouble -
Lord! They just won't, they just won't, they just won't, they just won't, they just won't let me be...
Oh, no...
