From the recording Along The Way
Just a fun feeling song written one afternoon when there was nothing else to do! This felt so easy, I thought, surely someone else has already written this, right? Well, what the hey, I like the groove and sometimes you just have to write down and record how you're feeling, ... even if it's just popping out of your own imagination! Maybe someone else somewhere was feeling like this? Dreaming is fun. Songwriting can take you to a dream place and even on a mental "vacation" of sorts, whereby you never have to leave the building! (hey, don't laugh, I save a lot of money on vacations like this!) Thanks for the listen, and supporting original music by purchasing this 99 cent download! The guest singer on this track is Clay McIntosh of Lebanon, Tennessee, my good friend and a talented singer, bluesman, harpest, and chef! Thank you Clay!
Lyrics
New Trouble
I DIDN’T HAVE THE LUXURY OF KNOWING HIM WELL
I JUST STEPPED RIGHT OUT THERE THINKING, “OH WHAT THE HELL”
I’VE GOT NOTHING TO LOSE AND NO ONE AT HOME
AND MAN I’M TIRED OF THIS BEING ALONE …. I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE, COME ON NOW GIVE ME SOME
NEW TROUBLE, WE COULD HAVE SOME FUN
NEW TROUBLE, QUIT PLAYIN’ IT SAFE I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE IN THE VERY WORST WAY
NOW LOVE IS DANGEROUS SO WE WON’T CALL IT THAT
NO NEED TO NAME IT OR SIGN A CONTRACT
THERE’S SAFETY IN NUMBERS, THAT’S WHAT I’VE BEEN TOLD
BUT THIS PARTY OF ONE YALL, IS REALLY GETTING’ OLD … I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE, COME ON NOW GIVE ME SOME
NEW TROUBLE, WE COULD HAVE SOME FUN
NEW TROUBLE, QUIT PLAYIN’ IT SAFE I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE IN THE VERY WORST WAY
A GUY DOWN AT WORK HAS ASKED FOR A COUPLE YEARS
IF I WOULD HANG OUT FOR A COUPLE BEERS
THIS BOX I’M LIVIN’ IN IS SURE GETTING SMALL
I THINK I’LL HANG OUT FOR A BEER AFTER ALL … I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE, COME ON NOW GIVE ME SOME
NEW TROUBLE, WE COULD HAVE SOME FUN
NEW TROUBLE, QUIT PLAYIN’ IT SAFE I NEED SOME
NEW TROUBLE IN THE VERY WORST WAY
Rap Words for 1st Round:
I saw you there I took a chance I didn’t know your name
But your curly hair was everywhere and then I heard you sing
Could you would you like to know me I’m an awesome guy
Aim to please, on my knees thinkin’ we should try
Whatever I was doin’ for the rest of my night’s
Gonna have to take a back seat, the love of my life
Has appeared and she’s here and she’s singing my song
If it’s trouble on the double and you want it, come on!
Rap Words for 2nd Round:
The greatest risk you ever take’s not getting’ in the game
You take a spin, play to win, my heart is on a string
Whatever YOU were doin’ for the rest of YOUR Life’s
Gonna have to take a back seat, the love of YOUR life
Has appeared, I’m here, I’m singin’ YOUR song
If it’s trouble on the double and you want it, come on!
