Lynyrd Skynyrd › Lyrics › Double Trouble

Eleven times I've been busted
Eleven times I've been to jail
Some of the times I've been there
Nobody could do my bail

Well it seems to me Lord that
This old boy just don't fit
Well I jump in a rosebush
Come out smelling like shh

Those misters dressed in blue
Never done so right by me
Some of the times I was innocent
But the Judge said "Guilty"

But I'm not one to complain
Son I tell you true
When the black cat cross your trail Lord
God, them come in pairs of two

Double trouble
That's what my friends all call me
I said, "Double double"
T R O U B L E

Well I was born down in the gutter
With a temper as hot as fire
Spent ninety days on a peat farm
Just doin' the county's time

Well now, even mama said
"Son you're bad news"
And it won't be too long before
Someone puts one through you

Double trouble
That's what my friends all call me
I said, "Double trouble"
T R O U B L E

Double trouble
That's what my friends all call me
I said, "Double trouble"
T R O U B L E

Oh no no no no
Trouble, trouble
Lord that makes you, kinda fair
Double, double
Trouble
Oh yeah
