Trouble Man - Lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones


Lyrics

i've come of heart baby but now i'm cool
i didn't make it surely playin' by the rules
i've come of heart but now i'm fine
i'm checkin' trouble sure movin' down the line
i've come of heart but that's ok
'cause trouble man don't get in my way

i've come of heart baby
i've been for real
with a trouble man
i'm gonna keep movin' i'm gonna roll to town
i've come of heart come on get down
there's only three things that's for sure
taxes death and trouble

well this i know baby
this i know babe
let the sweat through you
should you think about me
get me singin' yeah yeah ooo

i've come of heart i had to fight
take care of my business with all my might
i've come of heart i had to win
then start all over and then again
i've come of heart but that's ok
'cause trouble man don't get in my way

i've heard some places and i've seen some places
i've never had tensions i give my directions
when people say that's ok they don't bother me
i'm ready to make it don't care 'bout the weather
don't care 'bout no trouble got myself together
i've seen the kind of protection's all around me

i've come of heart baby
i've been for real
with the trouble man
i'm gonna keep movin' goin' goin' tight
i've come of heart come on get down
there's only three things for sure
taxes death and trouble

this i know baby
this i know baby
hey now let it sweat baby oh

i've come of heart but now i'm cool
i didn't make it baby playin' by the rules
i've come of heart but now i'm fine
i'm checkin' trouble sure movin' down the line
i've come of heart but that's ok
'cause trouble man don't get in my way
don't get in my way
movin' down the line
