"Trouble Man" lyrics - WAYLON JENNINGS

WAYLON JENNINGS
"Trouble Man"

I was so ugly the doctor slapped my momma when I was born
Then he took out his pocket knife and cut off my horns
He said lady if you ain't already picked out a name
Go ahead on and call him trouble man.

He's gonna be wild
I'm giving you warning
He's gotta have room
Keep an eye on him.

I grew up with long and lean and hungry looks
I learned you can't go nowhere when you go by the book
People all around me earthbound I learned how to fly
Upside downside outside sailing on by.

Out of my reach
Out of my hands
Out of control
Trouble man, yeah.

[Instrumental]

I've been so far in all directions as you can get
I ain't never had enough of anything yet
I had women that tore me apart without any reason
I say baby I don't get mad I just get even.

I don't explain if
You don't understand
I'm my own man
Trouble man, trouble man...
