He's never been far from troubleTrouble is as loyal as a
dogHe drinks in the muddy waterAnd he sleeps in the hollow
logHis troubles all have mirrorsAnd they double up the sizeHis
problems all have patchesAnd they cover up his eyesIt's
like that old expressionAll roads lead to RomeYou see he comes
from troubleAnd he's always going homeHe's always
going homeSo he can't see for lookingHe's become a
lightning rodHe walk with the clouds of thunderWhich don't
strike him now as oddAccidents will happenMuch more frequently
with himHe's never been far from troubleTrouble is a
trusted friendChorusAddiction in the bloodstreamChasing
fascination's choiceBorn of a desperationThere's a
mean edge to his voiceAs a snake he would have curvesOn both
sides of the lawAs a rule he'll catch his preyAnd he's
bound to eat it rawHe's never been far from troubleHe lives
an inch from his demisePushes his luck right to the edgePulls
the bull over your eyesMoney slips through his fingersHe owes
everyone he knowsStill and all it's good to see him comeA
little better when he goesChorus
