trouble round the bend

felt this hunger deep inside me

and i knew i had to go

left my friends and my companions

everyone i ever knew

put the old ways far behind me

lost their meaning long ago

people tell me that i'm crazy

'you got a good thing'

here to stay

ain't no point to look for trouble

'cos trouble finds you anyway!'

try to tell them but it's useless

i don't know no other way

and i smell trouble

trouble round the bend

said i smell trouble

trouble round the bend

got a devil deep inside

making sure that it ain't ever gonna end

guess i'll need you here beside me

'cos baby

you're my only friend

got some money in my pocket

got my lady by my side

there'll be times when i get lonesome

for all the good friends that i had

but the man says 'keep on moving'

i got to keep him satisfied

and i smell trouble

trouble round the bend

said i smell trouble

trouble round the bend

got a devil deep inside

making sure that it ain't ever gonna end

guess i'll need you here beside me

'cos baby

you're my only friend

but i smell trouble

trouble up ahead

i smell trouble

trouble up ahead

in my dream the man he told me

'you won't stop running 'till you're dead

but all you need is what's inside you

you've got to find it in your head

said all you need is what's inside you

it's lying sleeping in your head
