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.
