Trouble

[Verse 1]
Ain't got no reason to get out this house
Ain't got nobody to get me in this town
Your picture's painted on the lids of my eyes
Guess that's why I'm closing them now

[Pre-Chorus]
Gotta hold my head sometimes
To keep me from losing my mind

[Chorus]
'Cause trouble follows everywhere I go
The Devil's friends with all the folks I know
They tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me
They told on me for all the things that nobody don't know
Forgot how to say a prayer
Hope somebody listens when I talk up there
Don't tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me, no

[Verse 2]
I think I might go back up to Harlem now
Stay on somebody I used to know's couch
Yeah, I've been everywhere but I'm seldom at home
Give me a minute, I'll figure it out

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta hold my head sometimes
To keep me from losing my mind

[Chorus]
'Cause trouble follows everywhere I go
The Devil's friends with all the folks I know
They tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me
They told on me for all the things that nobody don't know
Forgot how to say a prayer
Hope somebody listens when I talk up there
Don't tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me, no

[Pre-Chorus]
I gotta hold my head sometimes
To keep me from losing my mind

[Chorus]
'Cause trouble follows everywhere I go
The Devil's friends with all the folks I know
They tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me
They told on me for all the things that nobody don't know
Forgot how to say a prayer
Hope somebody listens when I talk up there
Don't tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me, no
Now don't tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me, no
Don't tell me that the joke's on me, the rope's on me, no
