Trouble knows my name Calls me every now and then Trouble knows my name Calls me every now and then I don’t go looking for hard times But they come walking in I heard thunder this morning Before the sky turned black I heard thunder this morning Before the sky turned black Some men run from trouble I just tip my hat Got one foot in the gutter One hand on the rail Got one foot in the gutter One hand on the rail I’ve been too broke for heaven Too stubborn for hell Ain’t asking for mercy Ain’t begging for grace Ain’t running no more Ain’t leaving this place Still standing right here Still wearing this grin And when trouble shows up Tell him, “Come on in” I paid rent to hard luck For more years than I can count I paid rent to hard luck For more years than I can count But I changed the locks this morning And I ain’t moving out Trouble knows my name Calls me every now and then Trouble knows my name Calls me every now and then I don’t go looking for hard times But they come walking in Trouble knows my name... Yeah, he knows my name... And when he shows up... Send him right on in...
