born for trouble

i was born when the moon

was full and bright

and i've been howlin'

ever since that night

i was born for trouble

and somebody raised me right

i learned how to run

before i could walk

i knew how to cuss

before i could talk

i was born for trouble

and somebody raised me right

everybody said

where i come from

i wouldn't live

to see twenty one

i was born for trouble

and somebody raised me right

i whooped a man

at the county fair

he couldn't stand the way

that i combed my hair

i was born for trouble

and somebody must have raised me right

well i've learned something

that i'll never forget

that women like men

that they can't get

i was born for trouble

and somebody raised me right

no tellin' what i'll do

or what i'll try

but i gotta keep livin'

until i die

i was born for trouble

and somebody must have raised me right
