1. Trouble Knows My Name

STUDIO

There's a crack in the window There's a stain on the floor There's a stain on the floor There's a man in my memory I don't invite anymore Got a bottle on the table Got his ghost in my bed Every word that he whispered Still runs wild in my head [Pre-Chorus] I tried running from the river I tried hiding from the rain But every road I take, Lord Leads me back to the same old pain [Chorus - sanding voice] Trouble knows my name Knows the sound of my front door Knows exactly where I'm hurting Knows exactly where I'm hurting Knows what I'm fighting for Trouble knows my name And it calls me in the night I've been dancing with the devil Trying to make the darkness right Oh, trouble knows my name But it won't own me all my life [Verse 2] There's a train beyond the cotton fields There's a highway running west I could leave this town tomorrow Put this broken heart to rest But the truth is in the mirror And the truth don't let you go But the truth is in the mirror And the truth don't let you go You can change the road you're walking Still take your sorrow down the road [Pre-Chorus] I've been praying to the ceiling I've been cursing at the rain Maybe healing ain't forgetting Maybe freedom means facing the pain [Chorus - Sanding voice] Trouble knows my name Knows the sound of my front door Knows exactly where I'm hurting Knows what I'm fighting for Trouble knows my name And it calls me in the night I've been dancing with the devil Trying to make the darkness right Oh, trouble knows my name But it won't own me all my life [Bridge — half-time, vocal almost whispered] You can call me foolish You can call me blind But I ain't giving every broken piece Of this heart of mine Let that old bell ring Let that black sky fall I've been down so long, baby I ain't scared of the fall [Final Chorus — full band] Trouble knows my name But it don't know what I've survived I've been buried in the darkness Still I crawled out alive Trouble knows my name Let it call into the night I can walk beside my sorrow Without giving up my light Trouble knows my name But it won't own me all my life [Outro — ad-libs] No, it won't own me It won't control me Trouble knows my name... But my soul belongs to me. [Fade out] [End]
