Steve Goodman wrote one of the finest blues songs ever (IMHO). DON'T GO LOOKIN' FOR TROUBLE (Chorus) 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 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 (Chorus) 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 even knows you lied Now you're shady all the time (Chorus) (Bridge) Trouble will pin a tail on you and follow you 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 She calls you "Honey." Your jokes are funny Then she tells you she was only in it for the money Now you're drinkin' 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's in your own back yard
