Looking for Trouble

On the fringe of impropriety
It’s a whole new society
Times are changing, as you clearly see
I guess it’s worse than I thought

Was a time when bad was bad
Never wanted more than what I had
Did I cross the line from sane to mad
Or just forget ‘bout what my daddy taught?

I’m looking for trouble
In all the familiar places I know
Used to be humble
But I grew tired of that long ago
Looking for trouble
And trouble’s looking for me everywhere I go

If it takes a new beginning
To put an end to so much sinning
Count me in, you know I’m willing
To turn a new page once again

Hope I’ll be given one more chance
A new song for my very last dance
It’s on me, in noone else’s hands
To find my way back to where I began

I’m looking for trouble
In all the familiar places I know
Used to be humble
But I grew tired of that long ago
Looking for trouble
And trouble’s looking for me everywhere I go

Not much more to say
I’ll turn a new leaf some other day

I’m looking for trouble
In all the familiar places I know
Used to be humble
But I grew tired of that long ago
Looking for trouble
In all the familiar places I know
I’m looking for trouble
And trouble’s looking for me everywhere I go

Songwriter's Notes: This song is about a man who seems to find trouble at every turn. Bad stuff happens because of bad choices or just bad luck. Even if you don't necessarily look for trouble, it just may find you anyway. This is an alternative rock song with a country lead guitar intro and riff.
