Trouble In The City - J.J. Cale

Written by：J.J. Cale

Heard the one about your woman

Lord, she's been messing round

She's been stepping out on the street

Lord, she's been hanging out

Ain't nobody had her this week but it won't take long

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

And I hope it won't mess with me

Walking downtown the other day

A man put a gun in my back

Give me all youve got or Ill blow you away

Thats a fact, jack

Woe me, misery, too much been going down

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

And I hope it won't mess with me

Catch the next train out of here

Goodbye, Ill see you, so long

Time was I could face it here

That was a long time ago

Ill leave you very low, next time you won't see me at all

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

Lord, lord, theres trouble in the city

And I hope it won't mess with me
