Lyrics

Trouble Never Travels Lonesome
There's a sign in the sky, crows wheelin' up high
A chill settles down 'tween my shoulder blades
There's a change on the wind, feels like hard times again
I just can't give it a name

[chorus] Trouble never travels lonesome
He hits hard so you better believe
Trouble never travels lonesome
Most times he'll break you in threes

Built a barn late last year, when skies were so clear
Felt like somethin' was solid at last
But on this frontier, where life is severe
Fortunes can change in a flash

Got my Crop in the field, with no luck to steal
The Weather can't make up its mind
My children are weak, dark dreams in their sleep
What's he got in store for us this time?

[chorus] & [instrumental break]

[bridge] Like a storm through the trees when a bough finally breaks
I'm down on my knees, how much more can I take?

Holding nickels and dimes, I'll give it just one more try
Dig my feet into this black dirt again
Will misfortune await, a new twist of fate?
Trouble is nobody's friend

[chorus]
