Lyric
The girl I loved, she sure was prettyBut always runnin’ ’roundShe finally ran off with a boy from the cityAnd I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble nowSpent ten years breakin’ my backFor the meanest man in townToday I walked out and I ain’t goin’ backAnd I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble nowHad an ol’ rust bucket and four ball tiresAlways breaking downBeen walkin’ every day since it caught on fireAnd I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble nowNow I got no ride, I got no moneyAnd there ain’t no girls in this townBut the whiskey goes down, smooth as honeyAnd I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble nowI ain’t got trouble nowNo, I ain’t got trouble nowI had it before and I’ll have some moreBut I ain’t got trouble now
