LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE
    by Steve Goodman

The first time you take a drink it makes you spit and sputter
Shiver and shudder, mumble and mutter
But the next one tastes so sweet it makes you want another
Now you're drinkin all the time

Don't go lookin for trouble. Trouble will find you,
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you.
Don't go lookin for trouble. Let me remind you
'Cause you sure don't have to look too hard

The first time you shade the truth you want to run and hide
Your tongue gets tied. Your mouth gets dry.
Then you start thinkin maybe no one knows you've lied
Now you're shady all the time

Don't go lookin for trouble. Trouble will find you,
Trouble will find you, trouble will find you.
Don't go lookin for trouble. Let me remind you
'Cause you sure don't have to look too hard

Trouble will pin a tail on you and follow you all around
It'll get you when you're number's up
And when your guard is down

The first time you fall in love the skies are sunny
They call you honey. Your jokes are funny
Then they get bored, then they get restless, then they're up and gone
They leave you cryin' all the time

Don't go lookin for trouble. Trouble will find you,
Trouble will find you. Deaf, dumb and blind you.
Don't go lookin for trouble. Let me remind you
'Cause you sure don't have to look too hard
Trouble in your own back yard
