First time you take a drink you want to spit and sputter
Shiver and shudder, mumble and mutter
But the next one tastes so sweet
It makes you want another
Now you drinkin' all the time
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Sure don't have to look too hard
First time you shade the truth you want to run and hide
Your tongue gets tied, your throat gets dry
Start thinkin' maybe no one knows you lied
Now you're shady all the time
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Sure don't have to look too hard
Trouble will pin a tail on you
Follow you around
Catch you when your number's up
And your guard is down
First time you fall in love, the skies are sunny
She calls you honey, your jokes are funny
She reminds you she was only in it for the money
Now you're drinkin' all the time
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Trouble will find you, deaf, dumb and blind you
Don't go lookin' for trouble, trouble will find you
Sure don't have to look too far...
...trouble in your own backyard.
