[start] [Intro: Swirling Hammond organ riff with steady bass pulse, distant echoing guitar bends] [Verse 1] Got more trouble than I can bear Every street is closed, rain is in the air No way forward, no turning back They wrote my name down, I’m on the track [Spoken ad-lib: whispered echo] “They know my face… they know my name…” [Pre-Chorus: Organ builds with tom-heavy drums] Inside my chest, an outlaw man Dirty-bearded shadow, walks where I began [Chorus: Fuzzy guitar and organ in unison riff] I’m in trouble, somebody’s been shot In his pocket, my address they got I’m in trouble, my gun left behind From every angle, it don’t make sense, no time [Verse 2: Bluesy spoken-sung delivery, restrained groove] Blood was dripping the day I came Sleepless nights, they all end the same Years of lawless living, no chain, no law Every road I wander burns me raw [Bridge: Organ solo intercut with spoken vocal lines] I loved you, dark-haired girl, more than words can say Tears are falling salty, they won’t wash away Betrayal cuts deep, the circle’s closing tight And the lawman walks in… with a gun tonight [Chorus: Full intensity, shouted vocals with organ tremolo] I’m in trouble, somebody’s been shot In his pocket, my address they got I’m in trouble, my gun left behind From every angle, it don’t make sense, no time [Outro: Extended organ and guitar jam, vocal ad-libs echoing into reverb] I’m in trouble… oh Lord, I’m in trouble… Trouble on my back… yeah, I’m in trouble… (Trouble… trouble… trouble…) [end]
