Emily Scott Robinson - If Trouble Comes a Lookin' lyrics

What is there in Little Rock at the Hilton Double Tree Just a woman far from home a thousand miles out to sea She walks over to the window, pulls the curtain shut Pours three fingers of whiskey in a flimsy plastic cup Sits down on the bedspread, takes off her wedding ring If she does something dark enough he might just set her free It’s her mother’s mother’s diamond in a shining golden band Another woman who spent most her life loving the wrong man If trouble comes a’ lookin’ she won’t be hard to find She’s sitting in the hotеl bar on her second glass of wine Shе put a pretty dress on, wiped the tears out of her eyes And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ she won’t be hard to find Just two floors down is Brother John from Our Lady of Grace He is older now but handsome still with such a lonely face He picked a hotel off the Interstate where even God won’t find him Runs his fingers through the rosary and locks the door behind him How was Christ so perfect, how on earth did he resist The perfume on a woman’s neck, the softness of her lips He burned and burned for years with the fire of devotion But some things are impossible to stop once they’re in motion If trouble comes a’ lookin’ he won’t be hard to find He’s sitting in the hotel bar on his second glass of wine Across the empty room he glances up to meet her eyes And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ he won’t be hard to find At quarter til the bartender will make the final call She’ll slip down off her stool and sway slowly down the hall And he’ll kiss her like she always wanted, back against the wall And she’ll step out of her dress looking like Eve before the fall If trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find They’re tangled in each other’s arms in room 229 They’ve never strayed this far into the shadows of the night And if trouble comes a’ lookin’ they won’t be hard to find Not every infidelity is bound to end in shame She’ll smile one month later when a letter bears his name Brother John has gone to France and Italy to travel Where all of his ideas of God will happily unravel
